Forest School is a family 💜

Here is a real review from a real parent whose child thrived with us. Our impact is clear: children grow, learn, and develop with us at Forest School.

This is what preschool could look like for your child 💜

Every day is shaped by fresh air, movement, seasonal change, open-ended play, and meaningful experiences guided by a caring team who understand how to help children feel safe, seen, and ready to thrive.

This year, across YMCA Fairthorne Group, we're celebrating 213 graduates! 🎓

It's bittersweet saying goodbye to 21 of our pre-schoolers, but we know they're more than ready to take on big school.

Throughout their time with us, parents, practitioners, and children have worked together to make sure our little ones are school-ready - and what a journey it's been.

As we say goodbye, we want to wish all our preschoolers and their families the very best of luck. We hope to see you again at the YMCA soon! 💜

That's a wrap on Forest School 2026🌳💜

Thank you to everyone who came along to celebrate the end of the year and to say goodbye to our leavers at our Forest School Summer Celebration Party.

We absolutely love our Forest School, and we couldn't be prouder of everything we've achieved together this year. Here's to the memories we've made and the exciting journeys ahead!

Due to high temperatures tomorrow, our Forest Babies session is being adjusted. Instead of being in the afternoon like usual, we are opening our morning Treetots to babies too.

Treetots is from 10-11:30am, where it will be much cooler for the little ones.

If you are booked onto Forest Babies, please come along to the morning session.

Thank you - see you tomorrow 🌳
