Miniforesters Sessions 🌿
Last term, our Miniforesters had a fantastic time exploring the woods. From swinging in hammocks and making music with instruments, to digging, playing with trucks, and cooking in the leaf kitchen. We went bug hunting, created natural crafts, drew with chalks and charcoal… and so much more! There’s truly something for every child to enjoy.

Come and join us for a brand new summer term at Miniforesters!
📍 We are based next to Leigh Court in Abbots Leigh.

Weekday sessions – Forest Folk & Tiny Trees 10.00 - 11.30 Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday(Summer 2026):

Our Miniforesters made spinners this week! 🌿
Since the start of term, we’ve been building on our Forest Folk tool skills—introducing a new tool each week and now beginning to combine them to create something really special.
This week’s challenge was making toy spinners, which didn’t just test tool skills but also encouraged a bit of engineering and problem-solving along the way.
It was wonderful to see the children experimenting, adapting, and figuring out what worked best to get their spinners moving.
I think you’ll agree—they did an amazing job! 💚

🌿 Saturday Minis – February ☀️
The sun came out for us and we had a lovely time exploring the woods as they begin to change from winter into spring. The children took part in a scavenger hunt, searching for signs of the new season and discovering what nature had to show us.
We planted sweet peas, as this is the perfect time to get them propagating ready for summer blooms. 🌱
Our Saturday Minis also practised their woodworking skills, using bow saws and hand drills to create some lovely wooden medals to take home. We think they did an amazing job!

Miniforesters weekday sessions have been embracing the weather and making the most of our time in the woods! 🌿🍂 This week, we explored the fascinating world of animal tracks. Learning about the different footprints we might spot when we’re out and about, and how to identify them. We even had a go at making some of our own tracks too! 🐾 Our discoveries linked beautifully with our story of The Gruffalo's Child by Julia Donaldson, giving us the perfect opportunity to create some fantastic Gruffalo’s Child faces. And what an array of amazing faces we had, such a creative bunch! 🎨✨ We’re taking a half term break next week and will return with more fun-packed sessions in the week commencing 23rd February. If you fancy joining us, head over to our website for more details, we’d love to welcome you along! 🌲 #miniforesters #natureschoolbristol #forestschoolbristol #earlyyearsforestschool #parentandtoddlergroup 14/02/2026

Our Saturday Miniforesters sessions (Sat Minis) got off to a wonderful start! The weather was kind to us, although we were fully prepared with plenty of shelters just in case. It was so lovely to welcome both new and familiar faces back into the woods. This first session was all about exploring our woodland space and learning about our native woodland birds. The children made beautiful bird feeders to take home, and we finished the morning with a snack and a story around the fire the perfect way to end our time together. There’s still time to join us this term, either at our weekday sessions or our once-a-month Saturday sessions. Booking is now open for our Winter–Spring term, running from January through to the start of April. We’d love to have you join us! You can find more information about our sessions on our website.
