Details

Twiglets is a child and parent group aimed at children up to approximately 5 years. The Forest School ethos is about child-led learning in a supportive and outdoors environment, we promote connection with nature and a holistic approach to child learning and development, we look forward to sharing our woodlands with you and your children!

Twiglets runs on Wednesday mornings at 9.45am- 11.45am at our woodland site near to All Saints Church, Ashdon CB10 2HG

Forest School is a child-centred inspirational learning process, that offers opportunities for holistic growth through regular sessions. Our sessions are child-led and therefore our leaders with give you the space to access the sessions in the way that suits you, but there is always someone available for support should you need it.

It is a long-term program that supports play, exploration and supported risk taking. It develops confidence and self-esteem through learner inspired, hands-on experiences in a natural setting. Our sessions follow the Forest School Association’s 6 principles which you can read more about here

There is sibling discount available.

Instructions

We recommend wellies for stream splashers and please wear long trousers and long sleeves (even in warm weather - the woods are shady and the clothing protects against nettles and bugs (in the Spring/summer) and we highly recommend waterproof clothing and warm layers in the Autumn/Winter (with thick socks, gloves, scarves and hats, and thermals are recommended if the temperature is expected to be below 9 degrees C).

Please do bring a water bottle, as we don't have running water on site. Adults please bring a thermal flask/ mug for a hot drink if you wish.

We will meet at the gate to All Saints church at 9:45am and take the short walk to the woods together.
