Little Forest Friends is our pre-school at Haddenham St Mary's CE School, set in our Eco Lodge and Forest School area in our beautiful rural setting.
The children have constant access to the forest school and a large field as well as a warm and well equipped 'Eco Lodge.' At Little Forest Friends we follow the core Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework and incorporate learning in a safe and secure outdoor environment, where free play, fresh air, exposure to the natural world and physical activity are an integral part of learning. We spend as much time as possible in the great outdoors and offer a smooth transition into our Reception Year
