The forest school started with an exploration and introduction day, with children investigating the base area, climbing trees and learning their forest school song.
Kate Spence, founder of the forest school in Boothby Pagnell, Grantham, said, 'The launch was a great success. Lots of the children have said they would like to come every day and parents are really eager to alter their plans so their children can experience the new forest school sessions.
'The early years centre is attached to a sheep rearing and arable farm and was set up in 2002 as a farm diversification project. We are registered for 78 children and currently we have 73 children who attend, averaging around 45 to 50 children a day, plus 12 after school.'
