WOODENTOTS FOREST SCHOOL

A magical childhood forest experience like no other in North London

What Woodentots Forest School says

Unique to London, tucked away off Highgate Road near Hampstead Heath, is our private nature reserve in a hidden woodland. With no public access, it provides a completely safe environment for your children to engage in the joy of nature. Following the Woodentots seasonal rhythms, our Forest School believes that childhood is not a race. Children should be given freedom, space and natural resources to foster their love of nature towards a sustainable future. A whole-child approach gives children the foundation they need to become well-rounded, healthy individuals, equipped with life skills to reach their full potential. Forest school children become confident, resilient and independent risk takers. This is what school readiness looks like! Led by Montessori and Forest School Leaders, our Forest School follows Montessori principles and nature led materials.

About

I am passionate about using Maria Montessori’s teachings to grow the creative spark and intrinsic will to learn within all of us. I have been helping children flourish in this way for nearly two decades in addition to my safeguarding and observational roles. I am convinced that the best classroom is the outdoor classroom and believe Forest School is the perfect way to give infant minds the best possible start.
