Welcome to Willow's Forest School.
As a privately owned Forest School established in 2013, we offer a range of outdoor classes for children aged 1-14 across various locations in, come rain or shine.
Our programs are run by experienced and qualified Forest School Leaders and Assistants. Children have the opportunity to engage in adventures with our mascot, Willow the fox.
Our main sites are located in Lyne near Ottershaw, Chertsey, and Sutton Green. Additionally, our mobile Forest School teams provide services to schools and nurseries in Surrey on a weekly basis.
Forest School promotes a child, inspirational learning process that fosters holistic growth through regular sessions. This long-term program encourages play, exploration, and supported risk-taking, thereby developing confidence and self-esteem through hands-on experiences in a natural setting. We do not offer ad-hoc term-time classes, as we are committed to the Forest School ethos and consistent progress our participants achieve.

Term Time Classes for 1-4 years
Our term-time classes run Monday to Friday each week. Our two-hour sessions are particularly popular, with many families choosing to book once a week, while some attend twice. We are currently accepting bookings for the Spring term 2026. You may start as a Willow Cub (1-hour accompanied session) for an introduction, or proceed directly to a Willow Fox (2-hour accompanied session). If you would like to experience our program, please consider booking a taster class. We also offer discounted sibling tickets, and children under 1 can attend free of charge.
We provide a variety of during school holidays, including popular "drop and go" camps for ages 4-11. You can choose to book one camp or multiple camps, but please note that we do not run camps every day during the holidays to allow our sites to rest. We also host family mini-workshops during some of the holidays. Be sure check to your emails for updates, particularly in case of adverse weather conditions.
Term Time After School Clubs We will be back to running our After School Clubs in February 2026. These classes are closed to those children who attend Lyne and Longcross Primary School only. We are based in the woodland in the school grounds. You can book now !
