Forest School reviews

4.8 (127 reviews)
AI summary of reviews

Practical, real-life scenarios give attendees opportunities to practise first aid, make mistakes safely and build confidence for situations at work, particularly in forest-school settings. They describe the trainer as knowledgeable, patient, approachable and entertaining, with clear explanations, relevant stories, discussion and a well-balanced mix of theory and hands-on learning. The content is comprehensive, engaging and easy to retain, though several attendees would prefer a warmer venue with genuine woodland space for scenarios.

Venue was awful. Considering the cost of the course. No heating, no toilet roll and dirty hand towels. Danny had to bring in a heater for the Sunday and thankfully provided a toilet roll. There’s no woodland so the forest school element doesn’t come across as well either. Open field isn’t realistic to our experiences. It would also be helpful to spread the course over two Saturdays instead of both Saturday and Sunday due to working a full working week before and after the course. Midweek doesn’t work so is helpful you offer this as a solution. Danny was good though and have no complaints regarding him.

Response: Thank you for providing this valuable feedback. I have spoken with the venue supplier to draw their urgent attention to this matter so that they ensure the venue is clean and warm moving forward. I apologise for any disappointment this may have caused. We take feedback very seriously and will look to source an alternative venue with adequate outside space if possible.

Course content fantastic, instructor was brilliant, venue needed a more woodland surroundings for real setting of a forest school and the building was freezing , Instructor did bring an extra radiator on 2nd day .

Location could be better as in it could be an actual forest to train in but it was still good.

The wooded area wasn’t suitable for our needs. Danny was a brilliant, experienced trainer. Course was very informative.

It was concerning that there was no handsoap, no toilet roll and the postcode took me to the golf club. Not great considering the price of the course
