our forest school in plaxtol, sevenoaks
Forest schools originated in Scandinavia in the 1950s. It is an inspirational process that encourages learners to develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on, outdoor learning experiences in woodland, forest or natural environment. Research in the Early Year’s sector shows the positive impact that these types of schools have on young children’s development.
At Plaxtol Nursery school, we love outdoor activities and are lucky to be surrounded by a beautiful natural rural scenery; allowing our children great space to enjoy the best that nature has to offer. Our Forest School activities are led by a Level 3 Qualified Forest school Leader with many years experience working with children.
The children enjoy exploring the natural environment; some of the important skills our children are developing from forest school activities include self-confidence, problem-solving, supervised risk-taking, general wellbeing, leadership, social and interpersonal skills. We believe your child will love it here at our Forest school in Plaxtol, Sevenoaks.

1. How he has made a strong network of local friends, encouraged gently by the staff
2. The inclusive nature of the nursery - e.g. my son has been learning Makaton at nursery (he shows us at home), and can use it to play/interact with..."
