Inside Out Forest School

Explore a World Without Walls...
Remember the summers spent climbing trees and skinning your knees as you scrambled back down? Making mud pies and special ‘perfumes’ from puddle water and petals? Then smeared with grass stains and sun-kissed faces, hearing your mum call you in knowing that tomorrow would be filled with many more exciting adventures. We want the same fond memories for our own children; long days of fresh air and games limited only by their imaginations. Even though we’re competing with free play whilst raising our kids in a digital age, when asked about what they think is important in their lives, playing and friends are usually at the top of a child’s list.
Our Services

...at our holiday clubs
"Without doubt one of the highlights of the children's summer. A real life adventure, full of wonder and magic. Esther & team create memories that will stay with the children forever."Laura, leek
...in education
"Esther very ably balanced giving the children the freedom to explore the environment independently with ensuring they were safe. I would highly recommend Esther’s Forest Schools to everyone she encourages everyone to learn and grow as individuals in the space afforded by the outdoors. The children loved the sessions they had with Esther , they developed their confidence and self esteem."Mrs Littlehailes from St.Lukes COE Primary
...and elsewhere
"Thank you so much to Esther and team for delivering a fantastic forest school skills afternoon to the students at The Manchester Hospital Schools. Students were guided through activities in a supportive environment which enabled all of our students, many with high anxiety to take part in every aspect of the afternoon. The activities stimulated social interactions between pupils who find this extremely challenging. We will 100% be having another event in the near future!"Kieran Halliwell, Educational Visits Co-ordinator, Leo Kelly Centre
