Woodland Wanderers has been quite literally a breath of fresh air. Having been anxious about leaving my son, the staff were incredible and helped both me and him settle in so quickly. The whole settle process gave me confidence and it was just so reassuring to see him smiling at pick up and drop off. He loves the forest school and the whole environment is so welcoming. I cannot thank the whole team enough for providing such a nurturing and loving environment for the children to thrive in.

The setting is absolutely beautiful, my little one loves engaging in the montessori activities in the afternoon doing pouring, using tongs to transfer objects. On Mondays and wednesday mornings they have forest school and its so exciting for the children, they have a swing, hammock and make different things using plants like plant prints. Its such an amazing experience and there hasnt been a day my little one has not come home talking about all the exciting and amazing activities she has done that day!
