The Forest Preschool at Copythorne, New Forest. Where woodland wandering meets awe and wonder. π²β¨
If youβre a local family looking for an alternative early years setting for your 2 to 5-year-old, weβd love to introduce you to our private woodland home in Copythorne.
We are easily accessible for families across Southampton, Wi******er, Salisbury, Totton, and the wider New Forest. You can find us just down the road from Paultons Park.
At our preschool, connection always comes first. We believe little ones thrive best when they are given the time, space, and trust to lead their own learning. Instead of four walls, our classroom is the changing seasons, the rustling canopy, and the natural earth. πͺ΅π
What a day in the woods looks like:
π₯ Campfire connection: Gathering round to share stories, warm up, and cook together.
πͺ΅ Real tool work: Learning independence and fine motor skills through authentic, supervised tasks.
π¨ Creative freedom: Nature-led crafts, messy play, and child-led exploration.
π± Deep resilience: Growing in confidence, emotional regulation, and a lifelong love for the natural world.
β¨ Funded spaces are available! β¨
If youβre looking for a setting where your child can slow down, get muddy, and truly grow, visit our website to arrange a visit to the woods. We canβt wait to welcome you. π¦πΏ
