Cheshire Forest School
Cheshire Forest School hosts a variety of Forest School experiences including, Forest school for Home Schooled Children, 'Little Forest Folk', Forest School for our 1-4 year olds, Holiday Clubs, Family Events and School Trips. Set in our private, one acre woodland in the heart of the Cheshire Countryside, it is a wonderful place to relax, connect with nature and create memories through adventure and exploration.
​
We also visit schools to deliver Forest School sessions in their own wooded areas and support schools to develop a Forest School area with advice on how to secure funding to do this.
School Visits
Forest School Taster Session
EYFS, KS1 and KS2
Children will learn to use tools and natural resources to make something to take home. This could include a spinner, boat, medal, natural frame, musical instrument or stick character and where possible could link in with something that you are doing at school.
The children will be able to explore the site and engage in other activities: creating a journey stick, bug hunting, woodland art, making a mini den for a woodland soft toy and a nature walk with plant and tree identification. Cheshire Forest School will have two of these set up for school staff to lead whilst groups are engaged in tool activities with the Forest School staff. The day will finish with a campfire where the children can toast a marshmallow and sing campfire songs.
Forest School at your School
We can bring Forest School to your school grounds, by passing the cost of coach hire and enabling you to offer Forest Schools Sessions for your children.
​
In addition we can support with the development of a Forest School area for you, offering advice with gaining and using funding.
Forest School for Home Schooled Children
​​
This is a Forest School session for children (4-11years) who are Home Educated.
Cheshire Forest School is a place for children to develop a sense of self, to connect with each other and the natural world. It provides opportunities to take risks, develop confidence, work as a team, be creative, make decisions, take ownership of their learning and problem solve in a natural environment.

ABOUT US
Who are we?
​
Cheshire Forest School was founded in 2023 by me, Caroline Rogers. After spending 25 years working in Primary Schools in London and Cheshire as both a teacher and senior leader, I decided to do something a bit different! Both our children attended a Forest School nursery and I saw first hand the incredible benefits of developing a love and connection with the outdoors from a really early age.
On our daily walks in 2020, it made me realise even more how important this was for our wellbeing, both physically and mentally and this was the start of our journey. In fact,little did we know that the incredible woodland we are fortunate to use, was discovered on one of these walks
This weekend, February 28th 2026 we are celebrating 3 years of Cheshire Forest School and I am inviting past and present families who have enjoyed many an adventure with us.
I am so pleased that my family and friends will be there too. Without them, none of this would have happened. Gareth, my wonderful husband has been behind the concept all the way. He has kept creating and building all the ideas I keep coming up with but most importantly, he had the belief in me and what I could achieve.
​
Cheshire Forest School is a special place that I know has created many life-long memories for all the families that have walked through our gates.
