Under 5's Forest School Taunton

Come and get involved with our very popular Forest Friends group for parents and young children.
Children thrive in nature and you get to spend time outside with your little ones, learning about the environment, playing with water, mud and creative activities like painting and clay. We learn about the environment and changing seasons, but most importantly having fun!

We have stories around the campfire and a snack during the session which is always a favourite with the adults and children.

The group, run by our fantastic Forest School Leader's, incorporates all areas of forest school & outdoor learning.
