Wildflowers Forest School
Our Ethos at Wildflowers Forest School

Forest School takes place in a woodland or natural wooded environment to support the development and relationship between the learner and the natural world.
Forest school aims to promote the holistic development of the child, fostering resilient, confident, independent and creative learners.
Forest school offers learners the opportunity to take supported risks appropriate to the environment and to themselves.

I’m so excited to meet you all, you’re going to absolutely love our beautiful woods. We have lots of parking available right next to the woodland. It is nice and flat so all terrain prams would be able to be used in parts.
Baby carriers recommended.
As you drive to Braziers Park instead of going straight into the main house entrance (please don’t park at the house) you turn left (look out for the wildflowers logo) and you turn into the next right by the woodland. There will be an open gate which you drive through and you can park in the field (camping parking area).
We have outdoor forest school toilets next to the woodland. I will have baby changing mats e.t.c in the woods also.
Don’t worry if you’re not feeling that brave you can of course use the the indoor toilets inside if you wish.
Please remember that children must be supervised at all times, your child/ children are your responsibility.
We take our health and safety checks extremely seriously and run vigorous risk assessments, but this is the woods and the woods can be unpredictable. There may be poisonous berries, brambles, stinging nettles, fungi, bugs, tics e.t.c
Your child is your responsibility and making sure that your child is taking risks appropriate for their age is paramount. Please look after yourselves, look after each other and look after the woodland.

“If children grow up not knowing about nature and appreciating it, they will not understand it, and if they don’t understand it, they won’t protect it, and if they don’t protect it, who will?”
