Primary Visits EYFS and Key Stage 1
Days for schools
Bring learning to life with an Outdoor Adventure!
Our school days are specifically designed for Early Years and Key Stage 1, giving children the chance to explore nature, discover new skills and learn through play.
Led by our team of friendly and experienced rangers, every visit takes place at our Longdendale Environment Centre, where woodland and open spaces become the classroom. Children can investigate and explore in a safe, welcoming environment that is perfectly suited to younger learners.
Our hands-on sessions encourage curiosity, confidence and creativity, whilst supporting key areas of the curriculum. Every session has clear learning objectives and National Curriculum links, making it easy to choose an experience that compliments what children are learning about in school.
Whether it’s searching for minibeasts, discovering wildlife in our woodland or taking on exciting outdoor challenges, every visit is an opportunity to bring learning to life and make lasting memories.
What we offer

- Woodland Tales (March - November)
Using a much-loved storybook, children will spend the day exploring the woods using hand on experiences and sensory exploration. They’ll discover the natural world, learn how local animals survive and see the woodland through fresh eyes.
- Seasonal Change in the Peak District (November - February)
What happens in a Woodland through the winter? Learn how different animals survive the colder months through hands on activities and play. Then warm up yourself with natural crafts in our classroom.
