Here at Sunnydale Nursery, we have the most beautiful, natural surroundings for our children to grow, flourish and learn. Our sessions are full of opportunities for children to learn and develop new skills, think for themselves, manage their own risks, become part of a community where we support each other, learn to be resilient and learn how to sustain our natural environment.

What is Forest School? Forest School is an outdoor learning approach that helps children build a strong connection with nature. Sessions take place outdoors and encourage children to explore, discover, and learn through hands-on experiences

Why Forest School Matters
Being outdoors inspires creativity, curiosity, and imaginative play, offering learning experiences that cannot be replicated indoors. These experiences help children understand and appreciate the natural world and encourage a lifelong love of learning and nature.

Learning Through Nature
Forest School promotes physical development through active outdoor play and exploration. Children develop social skills by working together, sharing experiences, and building positive relationships, while also strengthening emotional well-being and self awareness.

Forest School sessions are charged at £10.62 per week. All sessions are led by a fully qualified Level 3 Forest School Leader, ensuring high-quality, safe, and enriching outdoor learning experiences for all children.
