Toddler fun - Fantastic fun for adult and child. Great use of natural resources for children to learn and play in an original experimenting, incidental and safe way. Toasting marshmallows on the fire adds to the experience

July 24 - My child loved it. I would recommend it. I would advise that the return walk back to the car park seemed longer than the original route to the forest school area and if you need to get back to your car quickly with a tired tot , return the way you came. David was lovely and engaging with the children. My child loved the fire side marshmallows and water play.

Loved our first experience of Muddy Tots! - Thoroughly enjoyed our first Muddy Tots experience! The ranger looked after us throughout; there was a good mix of adult-led activities and free play for the kids. Beautiful scenery and the time disappeared. Cute wee alpaca food vending machine we used to feed the alpacas too. Would definitely recommend, worth the money!

Amazing experience - We have booked the forest school and my daughter loved it. It was fun, interactive, our ranger was very helpful and patient. We will be definitely coming back in August even though it’s quite a drive fr where we live but it’s totally worth it.

An amazing place to visit! - Fabulous! 'that was like one of the best times', said my nephew. Lovely opportunities that are possible...den building,making fires, water play, whistle making, chilling on hammocks, toasting mallows....no matter what the weather's like this is still enjoyable (we had a 4 year old and a ten year old). We had torrential rain in July but we were all suited and booted for the elements!

Lovely morning in nature - I booked my daughter (nearly 4) in for a forest school session in June and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Firstly I would like to say I was disappointed that she was the only one there on our day however, that was from no fault of the companies. The upside to there being cancellations was that my daughter got to potter around and get a feel for the place herself and being autistic sometimes the first visit to a new place is better done when quiet and at her own pace. We had David as our teacher and he was very good with my little one, she can't wait for her next session to see the man who helped her make fairy fire with a real dragons tooth and gave her a wasp cocoon that's she's been guarding ever so carefully! I learned a lot myself which I doubt would have happened if he was focused on lots of little ones so I'm thankful for those nuggets of information. We have booked in again for the end of the month and then every week of July, I can't wait to see what else is on the cards. At the end of your session you walk back to the car park on the scenic trail where you can stop off at the coffee trailer for a coffee or a hot chocolate and to feed the alpacas (bring £1 change for the food machine). Also, keep an eye out for the fairy doors on your way and make sure to stomp over the bridges to ward off any trolls that may be hiding under them. Would thoroughly recommend, definitely worth the money and if you book a few sessions in a block you get a discount which is always a nice treat.

Family Trip - Both kids (six and three) had a great time. They loved making bubble wands and swinging in the hammocks. Though my wife needs more practice with the fire starting, everyone enjoyed msrshmallows at the end
