We aim to make our forest holiday clubs as accessible as possible.

Due to our staff to child ratios of 1:10, we are unable to provide the required care for children with a 1:1 at school.

Our activities are suitable for children who:
- are able to understand and follow our safety rules (for example: fire safety, staying inside the boundaries)
- are able to go to the toilet unassisted
- are able to eat their lunch without direct support
If you would like to discuss your child's needs with us, please call us on 0800 086 8837 or email info@communitree.co.uk
Weather conditions
Our forest holiday club is fully outdoors in rain, snow or shine!

For days where there is heavy rain, we will put a tarp over the fire circle to provide shelter.

Children spending time outdoors in all weathers:
- develops resilience
- develops a connection with nature in all seasons
- supports mental heath and wellbeing
Due to safety precautions and the level of risk, we are required to leave site if wind gusts are more than 40mph. On these occasions, we have access to an indoor space.
