What to Wear...
Long sleeves and trousers with boots - even on a hot day. This reduces the risk of irritation from plants and insects.
Nut free suncream and a hat.
Waterproofs.
Wellies or waterproof walking boots.
Plenty of layers to keep warm on a cold day.
The Forest School Site...
Our site brings together glades, and deciduous woodland, creating a rich natural space for exploration and play. Children can enjoy:
A mud pit (and on rainy days, a brilliant muddy puddle)
A fire circle & sheltered round house with a fire pit at the centre
Den‑building areas with natural materials
Climbable trees, a swing, and seasonal slackline or zipline
There is a single visitor composting toilet located by the round house. Clean water is always available from an onsite tap.
Behaviour Policy
AtTangled Roots Wild Learning, we aim to create a safe, positive and nurturing outdoor environment for every child. To help us do this, we ask that all children:
Listen to staff and follow safety instructions
Use tools and equipment responsibly
Respect nature, wildlife and the forest environment
Stay within agreed boundaries
Treat others with kindness and respect
We support children gently if they struggle, offering reminders, redirection and calm guidance.
If a child’s behaviour repeatedly puts themselves or others at risk, we may remove them from an activity or contact a parent/guardian to collect them early. This is always a last resort and used only to maintain safety.
We encourage open communication with families. If your child has additional needs or strategies that help them feel safe and regulated, please let us know so we can support them effectively.
