Chestnut Woodlands Forest School ltd is based at Chestnut Farm in Moira, Derbyshire. It is situated on the edge of 100 acre woodland in the heart of the National Forest. With a good mixture of ancient and plantation woodlands, open glades and dipping ponds, Chestnut Woodlands Forest School also has a purpose built wooden eco wooden building. The building is for the sole use of the groups accessing

the Forest School sessions. We have developed programmes of study for outdoor education that is based on the Forest School ethos. Forest School is a unique educational experience and process that offers children the opportunity to succeed and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on
learning experiences in a woodland environment. Children engage in motivating and achievable tasks and activities throughout the year and in almost all weathers. Children will work with tools, play, learn boundaries of behaviour; both physical and social, grow in confidence, self-esteem and motivation whilst developing an understanding of the natural world. Birthday Parties, team building experiences and end of term club (such as Brownies/Guides and Scouts) activities are available at competitive prices.
