Get outdoors with your little ones!

Join us for our popular Forest Playschool picnic
Forest Playschool is an outdoor experience for you and your child to explore, discover and get close to nature.

Old/scruffy clothes are best as we get quite muddy in some sessions! All sessions are outdoors in almost all weather conditions - wellies or sturdy shoes are a must!

Suitable for ages 4-5. Siblings welcome. Please complete a ticket for each child.

Supervision
All children must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times. There are various dangers including a road, lake, and National Grid sub-station on site which you will be informed of upon check in, or you can see our site risk assessment here.

Food and drink
Please bring a picnic for your family. Tea, coffee and juice will be available on site. We have children with nut allergies so we ask for your picnic to be nut free to help minimise the risk to all participants.

Forest Playschool takes place outdoors. Full waterproofs are strongly recommended. You must wear sturdy shoes or boots and should wear long-sleeves and trousers to protect from insects and nettles.

In strong winds or severe storms it may not be safe to go into the woods. If our staff perceive there to be a safety risk, we may have to cancel your booking. We will notify you via the email address and mobile number provided at the time of booking as early as possible.

Facilities
The Lodge will be open to use toilets, baby change, breast feeding, or for other essential use, but there will be no indoor space for play or shelter
