Forest School & Outdoor Learning in Bristol

If your kids are happiest with mud under their nails, Bristol has a couple of proper woodland sessions worth knowing about. Kingfishers Forest School Bristol, out towards the edge of the city, runs free-play sessions for ages 1 to 12, with clay to dig into and a fire circle to gather round. Closer in, Wild Wood Bristol Forest School takes children from age 1, exploring a stream and building fires, and it books up term by term rather than as one-off drop-ins. If you want to commit for a full term, Wild Wood is the one to look at, and it is set up for pushchairs and bikes if you are coming straight from nursery or school. It also allows picnics, so pack lunch and make a morning of it. Kingfishers suits families after a single woodland session rather than a term-long booking, with a wider age range covering younger toddlers right up to older children. Both mean proper outdoor time, wellies and old coats are the only real requirement.
