Welcome to the

secret garden

Based in Rawdon, Leeds, our Forest School offers play-based outdoor learning for children of all ages and needs, with space for older nature-lovers too. Children explore freely, take risks, and build confidence through nature play, crafts, and mixed-age activities - a place to grow rooted, resilient, and wildly curious.
