  I take my little boy to tiny acorns forest school each week and he absolutely loves it! We had his first birthday party there this weekend and it was just amazing! The most perfect party for our little boy. We wanted a Gruffalo theme and Kate made it so special for him with all different gruffalo theme activities for all the children.
Could not recommend little acorns enough and Kate is just the best❤️

  I have been attending Little Acrons Stay and Play sessions with my one year old son for a good while now. We love it. My son gets excited when we arrive in the carpark. From day one we have been made to feel very welcome and our group leader Nicole, interacts so well with everyone and is so knowledgeable about all things outdoors.😀.  We have taken part in a wide range of activities all led by the childrens interests, I have witnessed so much learning all whilst everyone is playing and having fun. I am so glad we found this organisation and would recommend to anyone wishing to explore outdoors with their little one. 😊

  Kate and Richard organised and ran the most amazing 5th birthday party for our son! There was a fantastic range of activities, including a giant mud slide, sausages and smores over the fire, log sawing, painting and a mud kitchen. Communication before the party was seamless and their enthusiasm and passion helped to make it a fantastic party! Thank you so much!

  My daughter and I had THE best time this morning!  The place is amazing and the activities are exciting and varied; there’s something there for every child to enjoy! We especially enjoyed roasting the ‘shmallows’ on the fire. Added bonus for the great hospitality; offers of hot drinks in the chilly weather. We will definitely be going again. ☺️

  My son had a fantastic 7th birthday party at Little Acorns Forest School. Very well organised and a wonderful setting in the forest. What an amazing party it was for a group of 6-7 year old boys! Such fun! Den-building, forest games and crafts, mudslide, campfire hot dogs and s’mores. The forest school teachers were brilliant ensuring the party ran smoothly and everyone had lots of fun. All the parents commented at how good the party was being in the forest. Thank you! Highly recommended!!
