Forest schools / nature clubs for kids

[malcolmweir]

Does anyone know of any forest schools or nature clubs for under 5's that run activities during the week? Looking for something for my 4 year old boy. Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks!

Nature Play - SE London, run a session on Thursday mornings in Sydenham Hill Woods. If you join the group, you'll get an invite on Wednesday morning, to the event the next day. There are only 15 spaces available for parents and their child(ren), so keep an eye out.

The Centre for Wildlife Gardening is a lovely place to visit. They did have Saturday sessions running throughout the winter - up until the end of March. I'm unsure as to whether or not they're going to be reinstated.

Nature Play in Sydenham woods is great, but you have to join the Facebook group and watch out for the invitation. The places book up very quickly, sometimes within minutes in the summer.

There is an after school session running at the nature garden at Bessemer Grange school from 3:45pm-5pm on Tuesdays starting this week. The first session is a taster session and I think it is a drop in.

There is also a Forest School close to Streatham Common/The Rookery on Mondays from 1030. The location occasionally changes so you need to check the Facebook group Natural Childhood.

Muddy Boots at Devonshire Road is on Mondays and Fridays I believe.

There also used to be a forest school at Mayow Park but I'm not sure if this is still running.
