Our Forest School offers a magical childhood experience like no other in North London.
For the under-fives
Unique to London, tucked away off Highgate Road, is our nature reserve in a hidden woodland.
We have nurtured it into a safe and varied environment for your children to engage in the joy of nature.
Friday Carer & Child sessions for 2025 will resume soon!
With no direct lease anymore, I have had to make some changes but I’m still running sessions - do check them out!
(Aimed at youngsters from about 15 months to five years old)
Please note that the sessions do book out. If you can’t select a date or time, then there are no spaces free. Please don’t turn up without booking as I am likely to have to turn you away!
If you encounter problems booking, email me and I may be able to book you in manually!
Please note that sessions will not show up if they are fully booked!
Can’t see the date & time you want? The session is probably full. You could try emailing the Camden nature conservation officer to ask for the child limit to be increased.
Following the seasonal rhythms, our Forest School believes that childhood is not a race. Children should be given freedom, space and natural resources to foster their love of nature towards a sustainable future.
A whole-child approach gives children the foundation they need to become well-rounded, healthy individuals, equipped with life skills to reach their full potential.
Forest school children become confident, resilient and independent risk takers. This is what school readiness looks like!
Child-led play gives freedom to explore the world using their senses. The wildlife pond and bug hotel offer children the opportunity to really connect with nature.
Loose part play such as crates, logs and planks to bring imagination alive. As well as spaces to just be, look at a book or sit around the camp fire.
Led by Montessori and Forest School Leaders, our Forest School follows Montessori principles and nature-led materials.
