Colchester: Muddy Boots Forest Adventures

Our unique Forest School is run by a highly experienced Montessori Teacher and Forest School Leader who has worked with children for nearly 19 years, each session is 100% child led with lots of props and activities set up around the woodland. This allows children to go off and follow their own interests, will they choose to climb a tree, balance on the climbing ropes, swing in the swings, dig for treasure, hunt for bugs, use tools or watch the birds? The only thing stopping them is their imagination.

We pride ourselves in offering a relaxed informal environment where children lead and parents breathe! This provides a no pressure environment where children can be with others or be alone and parents can step back from their busy lives and be at one with nature.

Locations:
Monday - Highwoods Country Park
Tuesday - Abberton
Wednesday - Wivenhoe
Thursday - Layer Marney
Friday - Ipswich
Saturday - Highwoods Country Park and Wivenhoe
