Getting Here

  • We are a NUT-FREE ZONE, so please ensure no food contains nuts.

  • Refillable water bottle to keep your child hydrated throughout the day.

 

What to Wear: Seasonal Clothing Guide

Forest School is all about outdoor adventures, so children should be dressed for messy play and the changing weather.

☀️ Summer

  • Lightweight, breathable clothing (but no shorts, to protect legs from scrapes and insect bites).

  • A sun hat for protection.

  • Sunscreen applied before arrival (we cannot apply sunscreen to children).

  • A lightweight long-sleeve top to help protect from the sun and insects.

🍂 Spring & Autumn

  • Layers are essential, as mornings can be chilly but afternoons warmer.

  • Waterproof jacket and trousers in case of rain.

  • Sturdy, waterproof shoes or wellies, as the ground can be muddy.

❄️ Winter

Even when it’s not freezing, being outdoors all day can feel chilly. At the same time, children warm up quickly when running around, so layers are key!

  • Thermal base layers (top and leggings).

  • A warm, waterproof coat.

  • Hat, gloves, and a neck warmer or scarf.

  • Thick socks and waterproof boots.

We encourage children to listen to their bodies and adjust their layers independently.

​

Storage

Children attending for the whole week are welcome to leave their belongings onsite, as we have storage space available.
