Adult Supervision Info

We provide two experienced forest school leaders to run the party, but we kindly ask that two adults remain with the group, usually the parents or carers of the birthday child.

To maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone, we limit the number of adults attending. Additional adults are only permitted if they are accompanying children with additional needs, very young siblings, or 4- 5-year-olds who require their parent or carer to stay all by prior arrangement.

What Our Parents Say

"We had a fab party for my son’s birthday party. Flo and Tallum were great host and happy to help/provide things the kiddies were asking for. The place itself is great for any kiddie that loves the outdoors as it gives them lots of learning through play opportunities. Snacks/drinks were readily available throughout the whole party and sausages, marshmallows and hot chocolate were served by the fire. I will definitely be recommending this place to others and will also be using their services again for parties in the future."

“We have loved our first spring term at A Touch of the Wild. Lots of activities for the Wild Tots to get involved in, tree house deck, mud kitchen, swings, chalk play, tuff tray changing activities and weekly cooking activity with some woodland crafts.Both Katy and Kim work great as a team! Thank you for your hard work and always making us feel welcome :)”
