Squirrels Forest School

Squirrels Forest School is the start of a life long love of the natural world

The chance to explore, play and make friends come rain or shine. Activities include splashing in streams; building dens and dams; mud play; looking for minibeasts; trails and treasure hunts and so much more! (See examples on our Eventbrite page.)

Come join us, bright eyed and bushy tailed for fun and adventure in Epping Forest and on our 7 acre site.

  • Every other Monday during term time
  • From 10am to 12 noon

Squirrels Forest School is led by a qualified Forest School Practitioner for children from 18 months who are walking confidently, up to 4 years old. (If your child would be in Reception year, but you are flexi-schooling or home educating, you may prefer Foxes Forest School.)

Children must be accompanied by a carer, with a maximum of two children/infants per adult (including non-participating infants).
