Forest School

At Cranbrook we believe that the great outdoors is the best place for young children to explore, learn and grow. Our onsite Forest School sessions at Ivy Cottage invites children to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature right within our own premises. Through hands on activities, imaginative play and guided exploration children will develop essential life skills while fostering a deep connection with the environment.

As they climb trees, build dens, and discover the wonders of wildlife, our little adventurers will enhance their creativity, teamwork and problem solving abilities. Led by our qualified Forest School leaders our Forest School nurtures curiosity, residence and a love for learning all while promoting physical development and environmental stewardship.
