 Our sessions are designed for children aged 5–11 years. We also offer stand alone sessions for women's circles, charity groups and teens.

 All of our sessions are drop-off to support independence and confidence. Parents are welcome to stay close by at drop-off in their cars or at a local café until their child feels comfortable.

 Each session blends yoga, mindfulness, outdoor play, crafts, games, and nature exploration.

At The Willow Tree and The Oak Tree sessions have a gentle, holistic focus on wellbeing, creativity, and calm connection. Encouraging confidence, resilience, teamwork and physical adventure.

 Please pack:

• A named water bottle
• Yoga mat
• Weather-appropriate clothing (layers, waterproofs, sunhat, etc.)
• A packed lunch/snacks for longer sessions
• Any required medication must be handed in to the practitioners with a full handover of how and when to administer

  Yes — we believe there’s no bad weather, only unsuitable clothing! Activities are adapted to keep children safe and comfortable. We are also fortunate enough to have indoor space if needs be. In very severe weather (e.g., storms), we will notify parents if a session has to be cancelled. 

 Absolutely. Both The Willow Tree and The Oak Tree forest schools are small, nurturing and inclusive. We take time to help children settle, encourage them at their own pace, and always prioritise emotional wellbeing. 

Yes sure thing. We encourage parents to come and visit the site beforehand to get accustomed to the space and take a walk around. We then offer all new participants a free trial for a session at our 2hr Little Gurus session . Just contact us for the code to put in at the check out.
