Our forest school story begins

Welcome to our brand new website

Welcome to Changing Leaf!

We're Hannah and Maxine, two qualified primary teachers and Level 3 Forest School Leaders, and this is our brand new website.

Changing Leaf is a forest school where children explore, discover and grow, led by a curiosity that changes with every season. Our first sessions start this autumn, and we'd love you to be part of our story from the very beginning.

Our sessions

Ages 5 to 11

Home Education

Thursdays, 9.30am to 11.15am

Longer forest school sessions for home-educated children, building skills, confidence and friendships outdoors. Our first block runs for five Thursdays, 5 November to 3 December.

Ages 2 to 4

Preschool Stay and Play

Fridays, 9.30am to 11am, starting after October half term

Relaxed, play-led sessions for young children, with their parent or carer alongside. You share each discovery together and take ideas home to carry on exploring.

Every session is play-led and hands-on, shaped by the children's interests and the changing seasons. You can find out more about our sessions on the homepage.

Take a look around

Our website is full of ideas for enjoying nature together, whether you're with us at forest school or exploring at home.
