Flexible, hands-on nature-based learning in the heart of the woods

This summer, we’re inviting children to step into nature, slow down, and explore at their own pace through individually bookable Forest School sessions. Whether it’s your child’s first taste of forest school or they’re already wild at heart, each day offers something new to discover.

What Will They Do?

Each session is child-led and seasonal, with plenty of time for exploration, creativity, and skill-building. Over the course of one or more sessions, children may experience:

🌱 Growing food from seed using no-dig, regenerative techniques
🔥 Fire lighting and outdoor cooking (with Kelly kettles and campfire treats)
🪵 Tool use (whittling, sawing, and bushcraft activities, all safely supervised)
🎨 Woodland crafts using natural materials: weaving, dyeing, clay play
🏕️ Shelter building, knot-tying and den design
🥕 Foraging and nature connection games
📚 Storytelling and mindfulness in our forest circle

Each day will be different – shaped by the children, the weather, and the season – but every visit builds confidence, curiosity, and a strong connection to nature.

Want the Full Experience?

We recommend booking multiple sessions so your child can enjoy a broader range of activities and deepen their connection with the land, the group, and the forest school ethos. Forest School is about process, not product – and the more time your child spends in nature with us, the more they’ll grow.

Sessions are small and spaces are limited – book early to secure your spot.

We can’t wait to welcome your young explorer to Piccolo’s Forest School!

Additional Notes & Considerations

SEND Provision

If your child has additional needs and you’re unsure whether the programme would be a good fit, please get in touch before booking – we’re happy to have a chat and see what might be possible if not during our summer pilot, but certainly during our future sessions.

Whilst we aim to be as inclusive as possible, due to the small-scale nature of this pilot programme and limited staff capacity, we may not currently be able to provide appropriate support for children with complex Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) but we are happy to discuss different options for making this a possibility, so please email us at [email protected] with any questions or concerns.

Facilities On Site

Our forest site is fully off-grid and designed to immerse children in a natural, low-impact environment.

Please note:

  • Compost toilet facilities are available
  • There is no mains electricity
  • We do have access to clean running water
  • Drinking water will be provided and all hygiene needs are carefully managed using eco-friendly systems
  • Weather & Clothing

Sessions will go ahead in most weather conditions (except severe weather warnings), so appropriate outdoor clothing, including waterproofs and sturdy footwear, hats and sun cream is essential. A full kit list will be provided after booking.

We will stop for a lunch break at 12pm – please ensure you send your child with a packed lunch and plenty of water to drink.

✅ By booking a place at Piccolo’s Forest School, you are confirming that you understand and accept the above information.

We’re so excited to welcome your child into the woods for this special summer experience. If you have any questions or concerns before booking, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
