Forest School & Outdoor Learning in Sheffield

If you like the idea of your child spending their day outdoors rather than at a desk, Middlewood Nature Nursery is the one to know about. It's in Sheffield, about five kilometres from the centre, and runs almost the entire day outside, with den building, fires and mud kitchens taking the place of a normal classroom. There's only the one place listed here, so the choice is really about whether outdoor learning suits your child. It leans toward younger ones who like to be busy with their hands, and it's worth asking how they manage cold or wet days before you commit, since the whole point is that the outdoors stays the setting. If your child likes fires, mud and building things more than sitting still, this is the sort of place to look into.
