Join us in the woods

Forest Folk Play is an award-winning outdoor stay and play provision for children of all ages, set in beautiful woodland in the heart of Nottingham.

Whether they enjoy creating messy masterpieces on our easel, role-play in our shop, investigating with water at our crazy guttering, exploring sound at our music station, or developing new skills like firelighting and tool work, our sessions really do have something for all children – whatever their interests!

Forest Folk Play is hosted by Jo, a Level 3 Forest School Leader who has worked with young children as a primary school teacher for 15 years. She is an early years specialist, SENCO, and former deputy head.

Jo and the whole Forest Folk Family are looking forward to welcoming you to our woodland wonderland!
