Hollies Day Nurseries Forest School Forest School is a nationally recognised innovative approach to education, at Hollies we have been running our Forest School since 2011. We have 3 trained Leaders and many outdoor spaces around our nurseries including Bestwood Park and a fully secured site at Blackwoods.
What is ‘Forest School’? Forest School is a learning ethos that has grown and developed over recent years, it embraces the outdoors as an inspirational learning environment focused on the child’s learning needs rather than specific outcomes. The children explore and experience the natural world on a regular, sustained basis and this is a unique way of building confidence and self esteem, learn new life skills and promotes independence to hands-on learning experiences. The children are actively involved with how the sessions develop, this makes experiences relevant to them and has a direct effect on their motivation. This causes the learning experience to be more emotionally involved and therefore more deeply rooted.
For more information please visit www.holliesdaynurseries.co.uk or call

We feel incredibly proud that we’ve helped save a number of very young children’s lives after they’ve fallen into water and survived – thanks to the skills they learned with us. Our world-class teachers could have trained as private pilots – five times over – in the time it takes to fully qualify with us. You can trust us to take the very best care of you and your little one. Let’s teach your baby to swim!
