"Freedom and Belonging"
Weekly sessions
(South Glos and Bristol)
We run weekly groups in South Gloucestershire and Bristol. Some are funded projects, others are paid for by parents/ carers. Please scroll down for more information or booking links.
Fees for these sessions are paid monthly by a monthly subscription payment. You will have to set this up as part of your booking. We sometimes have funding to subsidise spaces for children from low income families, please contact us for more details.
Spaces rarely come up at our Forest School in South Glos and Bristol. Children don't want to leave us and some have been attending for 10 years!
If we do not have a suitable space right now please complete a referral form and we can add you to our general waiting list. At the moment we are at capacity but are working to expand our provision from September 2024.
You may also wish to sign up to our newsletter (see link at the bottom of the page) to keep in touch with news on upcoming sessions and spaces.
Weekly sessions
(Newport)
Mud Pies Newport is based in various local schools and beautiful woodlands. Many of our groups are funded by the generous support of Newport City Council. We currently have a Woodland Playgroup for ages 0-5 and a Home Ed group for children with additional needs. Afterschool clubs are also available through some local schools.
