Coed Woody

“We worked closely with Ash from Nook Bespoke Joinery to develop an outstanding range of outdoor learning spaces to support the delivery of our Forest School curriculum.”

Andy JohnsonHeadteacher at Wood Memorial C.P. School

Part of everyday school life

Outdoor learning doesn’t have to mean an occasional trip. With the right space in your grounds, it can become a regular part of the school week.

“Ashley designed this as he went along and added some lovely little touches to finish it off perfectly. All staff are extremely happy with the final finish, and the children are in their element with the whole new outdoor area.”
