During Term time I run a pre school club. Please find more information and booking links below.
When children are given the space to explore in nature it helps them to build confidence, independence, and self-esteem. Forest school teaches the children to manage their play boundaries, evaluate risks and look out for each other.
You don’t need four walls and desk to learn and FS encourages children to learn by doing. We give the children space to find their own passions and skills but are always on hand to help them develop.
These sessions run from my garden in Farnham. The garden has a large mud kitchen/ potions area, hill slide, climbing ramp, bell tent for stories, shade and shelter as well as small world and lose parts play.
Pre school club activities include nature crafts, seasonal stories, lots of free play time, optional woodland walks, cooking on the camp fire, bug hunts and swinging in the hammock.
The garden session is from 10.30-11.30am. If you would like to join me for a woodland walk and explore please meet me at 10am. Due to the bylaws of Caesar’s camp companies can not operate on the land so this would be a walk as a member of the public.
Activities
Activities will include den making, campfire cooking, nature crafts, bug hunts, story walks, mud kitchens, obstacle courses, trails, learning about flora and fauna, games and of course time for lots of play.
What to expect
Our Farnham site has a garden fire circle, bell tent, large woodland with pond, mud kitchen, hill slide and lots of space to play.
Who is it for?
Our Pre-School club is for children aged 18 months to 5 years. One adult stays to join in the fun.
Health & Safety
Our Stay & Play will have a level 3 trained Forest School leader running the session.
The Forest School leader holds an outdoor first aid certificate and all staff have DBS checks.
Forest School encourages appropriate risks that can lead to muddy faces and scrapped knees. We introduce fire safety as well and learning about looking out for yourself and each other. We discuss safe stick and stone play as well and our no lick, no pick rule. We have a hand wash station set up in the trees.
