Forest School Courses

Established in 1986, Holmsdale Manor initially offered early years education, branching out into Forest School provision in 2007. We now also offer award winning Forest School training (Trainer of the Year Award winner) and have had many local, national and international participants, from as far afield as Egypt and the Phillipines!

Our nursery Forest School areas won the "Enabling Environments" Award at the national Nursery World awards in 2019.

Our Forest School course dates for 2022 are below. More may be added. These dates are for Level 2 and Level 3 unless otherwise stated (Level 3 involves an additional 5 days to complete the course).
