Testimonials
My son absolutely loved attending the Forest School play group every week, rain or shine. He was delighted with his Forest School party for his 4th birthday. We had a bug hunt theme with a story and bug hunting equipment, which was absolutely perfect for his age. The children all thrived in the outdoor environment and had a great time. Would definitely recommend!!
Lucy
My little boy absolutely loves the outdoors so we decided a forest school Birthday was absolutely perfect for him. We did a stickman theme where the children enjoyed making their own stickmen along with lots of other activities before having our hotdogs cooked on the open fire. Clare was amazing throughout and I would highly recommend her parties all our friends and family commented how much nicer it was being outside for the celebrations especially the older generation that find attending soft play parties too much for them.
Lisa
We had a 'Room on the Broom' inspired party for Megs birthday which was fantastic. The children enjoyed making magic potions and wands. It was the best part we have had and Clare catered to our every need. Highly recommended.
Amy
I highly recommend a Forest School party. After many softly/hall party it was a refreshing change to have an outdoor venue.
My daughter had a superhero theme for her 7th birthday. Dressed up as Superwoman she loved going on the obstacle course that Clare had set up. The rope swing was a big hit with all the superheroes!
