Notes

Clapton Park Children’s Centre is now also a Forest School.

All children from age two have access to a  weekly Forest School session in the Hackney Marshes. Our Centre promotes the ethos of outdoor learning, and we have a large garden which enables the children to explore the natural environment and take risks in a safe and secure environment.

Forest School is an approach derived from Scandinavia, where children have opportunities to explore the natural environment in all weathers.

Research shows the positive effects of the Forest School is an approach on children’s wellbeing, health, confidence, language skills, collaborative skills, awareness of nature and living things...
