Saturday Forest School Club

Saturday forest school club for children aged 5-12 (drop off sessions)

Taking place in the beautiful woodland at Riddlesden St Mary's, these child-only sessions will be a fun-filled, active play mix of hammocks, swings, den zones, creative nature-based activities and much much more! Autumn is such an exciting time in the woods, providing a great opportunity for the children to let their imaginations run wild! 

Sessions are for children aged 5–12 and run from 10:00am–12:30pm in September and October, and 10:00am-12:00pm in November and December. Children are encouraged to bring snacks or a packed lunch and plenty to drink. Warm clothing may be required, as we will always aim to be outdoors in nature for the whole session. Full details of meeting place, what to bring etc are in the booking confirmation which will be sent to you via email.

Children with additional needs

We welcome children with additional needs, such as Autism, ADHD, etc. Our practitioners have experience working with children with additional needs, and we find that these children often get a lot from Forest School. However, we need to know in advance if these needs will be present in the session, so that we can endeavour to provide the appropriate level of support.

If your child:

• Can't communicate verbally
• Can't walk and use the toilet independently
• Or often becomes dysregulated and is likely to need 1:1 adult support for longer than 5 minutes,

then we invite you to register for our family sessions (click here to book). These sessions are designed for parents/carers/siblings to attend as well, and to explore the benefits of spending sensory-rich time together in nature.
