Manchester Bees Forest School and Online Tutoring

This was a great experience for my two boys (one who uses a prosthetic limb to walk) and myself. The team create a really warm and welcoming environment and the activities are engaging and fun. We nearly got put off going by the rain but once there the weather didn’t bother us in the slightest! So glad we went, can’t wait for the next one!

We had a fantastic day at Manchester Bees forest school today. It was lovely to see my two children grow in confidence throughout the day and get involved with so much, including lighting fires and drilling! Thanks to Siân for making everything so accessible for my daughter, who is deaf. The children went straight into the bath when we got home, and the water turned brown with mud! That’s the sign of a great day!

I loved volunteering at Manchester Bees Forest School! Sian created such a exploratory, safe, free and community atmosphere that allowed the children to thrive and play however they wished. I learned so much from her, the parents and children. I think it was as much a safe space for children as it was for parents to share and relate to each other about having children with learning difficulties/disabilities. As a student studying educational psychology it was great to see how children learn so well in nature. I would definitely recommend attending or even popping in :)
