Brilliant practitioner meeting!

We had a brilliant practitioner meeting at Bishop’s Forest School in Rettendon today! It was inspiring to see the results of Sarah and Kirsty’s hard work and determination to get their project running, and interesting to explore the different areas of the site. It was really encouraging to hear how much people value the feeling of community that our group provides, and as usual I came away feeling energised and full of positive thoughts. Thank you everyone!

Amazing new forest school

Today we visited Bishop's Forest School and I was totally blown away with how amazing this place is! After hearing about the creation of this place for so long I was so excited to see it in the flesh and my goodness it was 100 times better than expected. The boys had the most amazing time exploring the grounds and there were some great activities for the kids too! All finished with a nice hot chocolate and roasting s'mores on the fire. Congratulations Sarah and Kirsty on your amazing new forest school. We can't wait to visit again in the future.

Endless fun!

Fresh air, fabulous surroundings and endless fun. The campfire, s’mores and hot chocolate were a perfect end to a morning of exploring and excitement. What an amazing place to spend time learning and enjoying the great outdoors.

Forest School

We attended Bishops Forest school on Sunday. Sarah and Kirsty were so welcoming and the whole setting was very idylic. My daughter is 7 and she throughly enjoyed all the activities from crafts to climbing to Easter egg hunts. We loved the sense of adventure that the outdoor areas provided. We can’t wait to return. Thank you for a lovely morning.

We cannot wait to return!

Our daughter attended Bishop’s Forest School last weekend. Wow, what a site, the attention to detail and outdoor fun is fantastic! Kirsty and Sarah are knowledgeable and great fun, knowing the right tone for children of all ages! Our daughter particularly enjoyed the size and variety their site afforded, as well as the personal touches with the lovely home made ‘medals’. Can’t wait to come back again soon when it’s going to be even more fantastic- at the hands of these experienced educators. We cannot wait to return!

An amazing site

What an amazing site! The care and consideration that has been put into landscaping and activities on offer is beautiful. The ladies, Kirsty and Sarah, are passionate about forest school and a more Froebel centred learning style. Head over to say hello if you have small people and you would like to take them to forest school.

Wonderful time

We had a wonderful time at Bishop's Forest School Family Session. My grand daughter really enjoyed herself and there was so much for her to do. Kirsty and Sarah were great with her and engaged in lots of different activities with her. We will definitely be going back.

Really recommend

We did a stay and play session for my twins and there were at least five different areas for them to explore, lots of mud/water kitchen activities, a reading area, a hammock and swing and fire pit. It was brilliant, two hours of fresh air and two tired toddlers after! Really recommend. There are other areas set up for older children too.

S'mores were yummy

A lovely, vast and well laid out area where both our children had a great time with the creative activities, making smores around the campfire and exploring the surrounding areas. Can't wait to come again.
