An excellent activity for outdoorsy kids - We loved the Muddy Tots Forest School. David was incredibly knowledgeable, patient and tailored each activity to the age/ability of the children. We would have loved if the sessions were longer as the kids didn't want to leave!

Fantastic day out for children and adults - A mum and son day out during summer holidays to spend quality time together. My son (6) absolutely loved it!! We had such fun in forest school with guide David who taught the group how to safely build and put out a campfire. We also had time at the start and end for free play in the forest, with lots to do for all ages. I’d highly recommend this. Great to be outside and enjoy ourselves. A amazing day, at a lovely venue with friendly staff making the experience. Will certainly be back!!

Well organised & worth the money - A brilliant afternoon. We arrived 30mins early to feed the alpacas & grab a coffee. Gorgeous grounds. We walked to the forest school in our group, the instructor was informative & approachable. We built a den, word for the parents- it's hard work for you too! The kids all got stuck in too. Once that was over there was playtime in the woods- hammocks & the like. We then sat round a campfire & toasted marshmallows. Then we walked back & the kids got a hot chocolate from the coffee dock beside a small lake. A really well organised & well worth the money afternoon.

Muddy Tots fun - Fantastic experience for young children to get into nature - climbing trees, playing with things found in nature and making crafts, storytelling and looking in ponds for creatures as well as jumping in muddy puddles and seeing alpacas on route. Top it off with yummy marshmallows toasted on the fire and hot chocolate to round of the day! My Grandson would attend daily if he got the opportunity and loves David as a leader

Forest fun, will be spreading the word!!! - Had an absolute blast. Fun, focused and a forest that had the kids bewitched. The forest school we attended was very well organised, well resourced and paced perfectly for the little ones. Loved the landscape, the coffee hut by the lake, the beautiful gardens and the alpacas were a delight to feed. I am recommending to everyone and I will be booking again for sure.

Fun for old and young. - Such a very well thought out programme, very interactive and my 3 year old grandson had a ball as did I. Every minute was exploring new learning and then free play. Leader was so. Dry much involved with everyone and answered all questions.

Hidden gem, worth a wee visit. - I had never heard of this little hidden gem until I was looking something different to do for my daughter birthday and I’m so glad I found it. We took 15 (min 10) kids (3-6 year olds) to the forest school were David our instructor/big kid taught us how to build dens, make s’mores and generally entertained us for 2 hours on a rather wet day, (No bad days just bad clothing be prepared) he was brilliant. Because of the rain we used the Marquee for the party food, and face painting (these were extra) but so worth it, no hassle and kids loved and ate everything. Due to the weather the staff and owner had to make some changes but it didn’t take from the experience and all were very accommodating and friendly. We will definitely be back.

Great way to spend a couple of hours outside. - Excellent value for money. It was pouring but that didn't dampen spirits. Well paced in terms of the walk and activities - maybe lacking a bit of structure but that could have been because my child was at the older end of the range but David was very engaging and interested. A worthwhile experience.
