About Us
At Strawberry Hill Forest School, we are passionate about nurturing and inspiring young minds in a warm, friendly environment. We have been catering to children aged 18 months to 5 years for over 14 years.
We believe that every child deserves a solid foundation for lifelong learning, and our dedicated team is committed to providing high-quality sessional care that supports each child’s unique development. We offer a stimulating and inclusive environment where children can explore, play, and discover at their own pace.
Our curriculum is designed to engage and excite children, focusing on the importance of outdoor play and connection with nature. We understand the value of a well-rounded education, and we are proud to offer government-funded places for eligible 18months to 5-year-olds to ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive.
The children visit Strawberry Hill House every Monday from 11am until 3pm. We will look to increase our outdoor learning when a minibus is available.
We also have access to a large outdoor space at the school site. Which the children access everyday for between 2/3 hours.
Rowena Brimacombe is currently working on her level 3 Forest School teaching qualification.
