Forest School & Outdoor Learning in Brighton

Forest school here mostly means Stanmer Park, where Wilderdays runs woodland sessions with tree climbing, ropes courses and a proper campfire to cook on. It is well served by public transport and has toilets and wheelchair access on site, so it is easy to get to without a car. Nearby, Bee In The Woods Kindergarten Portslade takes children from birth to eight, with fire building, stick whittling and rope swings instead of a classroom, plus baby changing and food on site. For younger children, the Portslade kindergarten's under-8s range and baby change make it the easier pick with a toddler in tow, while Wilderdays suits kids old enough to manage tree climbing and foraging safely. Both are outdoor, whatever-the-forecast sessions rather than drop-in play, so check what to bring. If public transport matters, Wilderdays has that covered.
