Our Philosophy of Wild Learning
Wildbound Forest School offers outdoor holiday clubs and home education sessions for children aged 5+ in Kent, designed to support confidence, independence, and a love of learning through nature.
Our sessions are led by a qualified teacher and an experienced teaching assistant, both fully trained Forest School practitioners with years of hands-on experience supporting children's development. You can feel confident your child is in safe, capable, and nurturing hands.
Set in the beautiful Jeskyns Community Woodland, children are given the freedom to explore, create, and challenge themselves through a balance of guided activities and child-led play. From den building and tool use to fire lighting and nature exploration, every session is carefully designed to support independence, problem-solving, and emotional wellbeing.
Whether your child thrives outdoors, needs space to grow in confidence, or simply benefits from learning beyond the classroom, Wildbound offers a supportive environment where they can truly be themselves.

Children explore, build, create, and discover through den building, fire lighting, nature crafts, and wildlife adventures.

"My son absolutely loved it and genuinely didn’t want to leave at the end.
Leoni and Katy, the Forest School Leaders, were incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming and approachable throughout the session.
They created such a warm, engaging environment where the children could explore, learn and build confidence naturally through play and outdoor activities."

"My two boys (9&5) absolutely loved Wildbound Forest School. They came home so happy and full of stories about what they’d been up to.
Leoni and Katy are both amazing with the kids — so warm, patient and encouraging, and you can tell they genuinely care about every child there. They’ve created such a lovely relaxed environment where the children can explore, learn and generally have fun!
We will be back thats for sure!"
