Wispering Woods Summer Trial 7-11 Years Old
Whispering Wood Sessions – Nurturing Nature Connection for All
Mondays | Alternating Age Groups: 7–11 & 11–16
Join us for our weekly Whispering Wood Sessions – a calmer, sensory-aware forest school experience designed for children and young people who benefit from a gentler pace and extra support in nature.
Held in a peaceful woodland setting, these small-group sessions run every Monday, with alternating age groups:
Week 1: Ages 7–11
Week 2: Ages 11–16
(and so on)
Each session offers:
🌱 A nurturing, supportive environment
🌳 Thoughtfully designed nature-based activities
🎧 Sensory-friendly approaches and flexible participation
💚 A focus on emotional wellbeing, accessibility, and deep connection to the natural world
Whether your child is sensory-sensitive, anxious, or simply needs more time and space to thrive outdoors, Whispering Wood is a place to belong, explore, and grow – gently.
Limited spaces available. Booking essential.
Whispering Woods is a specialised session designed for a much smaller group (maximum 6 children), allowing us to provide a calmer, more personalised experience—especially suited for children who may benefit from a quieter, lower-pressure environment. While our usual sessions are £7.50 with up to 20 children, Whispering Woods requires more staff time and preparation per child to keep the environment supportive and nurturing. The slightly higher cost helps us keep group sizes small, maintain a high adult-to-child ratio, and deliver the quality of care and attention your child deserves.
🌿 Whispering Woods – Now Even More Accessible Thanks to The Woodland Trust! 🌿
We’re incredibly excited to share some wonderful news! Our friends at the Woodland Trust Smithills Estate, where we’re proud to be the lead social enterprise for Forest School sessions, have heard about our brand-new Whispering Woods sessions – and they loved it so much, they’ve decided to collaborate with us and part-fund this pilot project!
These sessions have been specially created for children who flourish in quieter, smaller groups, offering a calm, nurturing woodland experience. With just 6 children per session, we’re able to provide a highly personalised and supported approach.
Due to the low numbers and increased staffing, the original price was set at £18 per child—however, thanks to the Woodland Trust’s generous support, we’ve been able to reduce this to just £8.50 per session during the pilot phase.
💚 What an amazing opportunity—and such a bargain for such a unique and enriching experience!
What do I need to bring?
Not an awful lot!
Come in suitable outdoor clothing for our ever-changing weather.
A reusable cup for drinks by the campfire.
And more importantly yourselves!
Anything you may need for a good morning out! As always you can expect to get dirty!
