Forest School

Each child at Welly has the opportunity to spend a week at forest school, with their colour group and key person, during the Spring/Summer term. Forest school is a type of outdoor education in which children visit forests/woodlands, learning personal, social and technical skills.

We use the Rectory garden of Horfield Parish Church which has been uniquely adapted for Forest school. At Welly we have specially trained staff who organise and plan the forest school adventure.

  

Typically this might include climbing the tree house, building dens, making bread rolls to cook on the camp fire and generally enjoying the great outdoors. This is fully funded by the pre-school and is often regarded as one of the most memorable times in the pre-school year for both children and staff.

  • Information for parents


    To enquire about adding your child to our waiting list, please contact us by email at horfieldwellypreschool@gmail.com
    Please include the following information:
    1. your child's name and date of birth
    2. your name and contact numbers
    3. your home address and e-mail address
    4. if you have had any other children at pre-school and their leaving date *
    Thanks

    To try and make admissions more fair, we will only take applications for the waiting list from the 1st September following your child’s 1st birthday. Applications sent in before this for 1yr old children will not be accepted. Children who are 2 or over can still be added to the waiting list at any time.

    We have a Facebook group for our staff and parents (with children at the Welly) to share ideas and information, which can be found here.

    * We will be offering priority only to families whose other children have left within 2 years of their next child starting.
  • Ofsted

    We are delighted to have been given an OFSTED rating of 'Outstanding'.

    Charlotte Stiley (Manager) puts the successful Ofsted rating down to all involved in the pre-school. "We can’t praise everyone involved in the pre-school highly enough, our outstanding staff, brilliant children and amazing parents. It’s by all working together that we make Welly the great place it is to have fun, work and learn. We’re a real family unit and it’s great."

    You can read the OFSTED report here.
