Education, but not as you know it!

Surrey Hills Forest School offers something Different

Set in the beautiful Surrey Hills countryside, our Forest School gives young children the time and space to play and learn, build confidence and self-awareness, learn about the natural environment and develop new skills.

With our Stay and Play sessions, there are plenty of activities to keep all young children entertained – we can even host a birthday party!

For Schools and Nurseries, we can tailor a forest school experience for children in your own setting or within 147 acres of woodland at Chantry Wood. And for anyone interested in being involved in outdoor education, we offer Training Courses to become a certified Forest School Leader.

With Holiday Clubs and Stay and Play sessions, there are plenty of activities to keep all young children entertained – we can even host a birthday party!

Thanks so much to Lee and his wonderful team for a brilliant forest school afternoon on Saturday. 45 excited 8-year olds had an amazing time. Chantry woods are so beautiful and the kids loved the fresh air, freedom and adventure. Can't recommend it more highly - thanks again.

We love this forest school!  Our son has flourished here, he has speech and language difficulties but the nature of this setting has allowed him to explore his speech abilities without the spotlight of a classroom. Lee has made a wonderful preschool in the forest.

We booked Surrey Hills Forest School for my son's 4th birthday party. The children all had a wonderful time, and all the parents thought it was a great idea for a party. I've honestly never felt so relaxed as the host of a children's party. 100% recommend!

Both girls love their time at forest school. Lee and his team have provided a fantastic environment for them to explore the woods, play independently and with friends and also to learn new skills.
RACHAEL
The Forest School is such a lovely place! Carefully thought out, nurturing and safe. My daughter loved her time there and keeps talking about going back next year! I would thoroughly recommend it.
SARAH C
My daughter had a brilliant time there and really enjoyed all the variety of outdoor learning provided by the team. I would highly recommend a forest school setting to all pre-school children - it's such a lovely experience for them to learn in nature.
SARAH B
I’ve been to a couple of his sessions and can see why all the kids love them! As a way of getting children to appreciate and have fun outdoors, I can only recommend this.
PAUL
Thank you so much for a fun packed day for my two boys age 5&6. They have come home with beaming smiles and talking non stop about all the amazing things they have done.
KATE
The flexible and adaptable approach that Lee and Nike provide at Surrey Hills Forest School ensures that every child’s individual interests are nurtured and the curriculum is tailored to their passions. He comes home after every session saying, ‘That was the best day EVER!’
