Rainbow Forest School

The staff are truly wonderful. They bring warmth, care, and creativity to everything they do, creating a safe, nurturing, and imaginative world where children can grow, explore, and truly blossom. It's a little slice of magic, and we feel so lucky to have found it.

The staff at Rainbow Forest School are kind, caring and child centred. We had to move our daughter from her childminder as she outgrew the space. We believed the outdoor nature of the forest would be perfect for her but were worried as she is often quite timid and not one for new people. She has simply thrived. She is excited every morning to go to school and tells us all about her day when she gets home. They have given her a true chance to experience childhood, no bells or whistles just nature, connection and imagination. We can't thank the team enough.

If I had my time again, I would have sent my child to Forest School sooner so he would have experienced that level of care and kindness for longer. He's really grown in confidence, and his language and emotional intelligence has really improved since attending, as well as his imaginative play skills.

The staff at Forest School were wonderful- they were never phased by anything and were constantly enthusiastic and caring. They met all of my child's needs, and were very considerate of his allergies. Staffing was very stable, and every day I had a useful handover.

This is the perfect place to send your child/children if you want them to experience something that is very nurturing. I also loved all the sessions and activities they offered for parents (Christmas, Mother's Day, Father's Day and the summer event).

My son has had the best possible time and learning experience at Forest School. This was our first time learning and trying out this concept - and it is absolute gold. Primarily owing to the fantastic teachers at Rainbow Forest School. The teachers not only helped my son get over his initial nervousness, but made sure he was engaged thoroughly. From making small wood toys, mud-kitchen activities, pretend-playing, nature walks, planting vegetable and fruit patches, appreciating and learning about nature, and much more, this has been a great experience for my son and us. The teachers also organized amazing events like fathers day, mothers day, graduation day, summer events!

Thank you so much!

We feel so lucky our daughter could attend Rainbow Day Forest School. Naturally quiet, she's had space to explore at her own pace, helping her feel safe and seen. Over her time there, she's grown in confidence, resilience, creativity, and joy in getting messy outdoors. We love the respect the staff show toward the children and nature, and how our daughter brings that respect into her own interactions. The staff truly see each child as an individual, guiding them with patience and time, which has meant so much. She loves being outside all day, eating by the fire, playing in the hammock, and bringing home small treasures she's crafted. We love the mixed-age approach, seeing her help younger children with the same kindness she's received. As her time there ends, we feel deeply grateful. She will carry forward respect for nature and others, confidence to try, and the joy of creativity in a simple patch of land under the sky.

We love Rainbow Forest School - our daughter has been going for around a year and loves it. The staff are the loveliest bunch you'll meet - they really care for the kids but also continually challenge them and teach them new things. Being outdoors a couple of days a week is so great for our little one - she gets so much from it and seems so happy at the end of a day there. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

We are looking forward to our littlest one attending also, when he comes of age.

The importance of letting kids explore and play freely is huge and you can really see this in their development.

I absolutely love this nursery. My child has been here for over six months now, and I have seen him flourish. He is more confident and vocal. The staff are good communicators, kind, and creative and look after the children well. I love the forest school idea and think it is wonderful for children and so healthy for their development.

Our son has been attending the Forest School since April. He absolutely loves it from day one. The teachers are passionate, caring, full of ideas and enthusiasm. We are very happy we could extend our son's love of being outdoors and nourish his creativity, he seems to have so much fun every day. The grounds are adopted for many activities and weather conditions. Can't praise the team highly enough.

My son started at Forest School in January 2024 aged 3. He has spent the last 7 months learning so many new skills that he may wouldn't have had the chance to do at his previous nursery. I had reservations about him being in the -4 degree weather but he was always warm and comfortable thanks to the vigilance of his amazing teachers! In the summer he has been paddling in the stream, swinging on the tree swing and learning so many new outdoor skills that he is so very proud of! He is off to primary school now and I can only wish I had put him into Forest School a lot sooner! He has learnt so much and the support of the staff for myself as well as him has been amazing! We will miss them very much.

Admittedly, we were initially cautious, having been unfamiliar with the Forest School's layout and structure, especially given our son's medical history. However, after just one month at the Forest School, our son's enthusiasm was a testament to his enjoyment and our overwhelming relief. It was a journey of emotions, but we are now reassured and grateful. The success of the Forest School is largely due to the amazing staff at the school as well. Their deep understanding of child development and their ability to tailor activities to each child's needs in a outdoor environment have been instrumental in our son's growth. All the staff are caring and knowledgeable, which also puts us at ease!

My son loves going to the forest school! He comes home chatting about the exciting things he has done, including nap time in the tent. The fresh air is great for him, and he now loves to play in the rain. It's a great sensory experience for him to be outside in nature. I recommend this for all children.

Rainbow Forest School is a place where children can grow, learn, and connect with the beauty of the natural world while being supported by a dedicated team of professionals. My daughter and I couldn't be happier with our experience here.

My daughter absolutely loves her time at the Rainbow Forest School, she goes in happy and comes home even happier after a day outside with her friends doing crafts and hunting for bugs. The staff are wonderful too. Highly recommend!

My 3-year-old explorer has been part of this awesome Rainbow Forest School in Bromley, and we're loving it! The team are absolute rockstars. They bring so much energy and passion to the whole experience, making sure the kids are safe, happy, and having a blast outdoors.

With a genuine love for nature and teaching, they're all about sparking curiosity and making every day an adventure in the wild.

I can't say enough about how much my daughter has fallen in love with the great outdoors since she started here. The forest becomes her playground.

They strike a great balance between learning stuff and just letting the kids be kids!
