Wildlings Forest School Reviews | Rating 4.8 out of 5 stars (8 reviews)

Wildlings Forest School is located in Burnside, Australia on Youth Ave. Wildlings Forest School is rated 4.8 out of 5 in the category recreational facilities and services in Australia. At Wildlings, we are adventure play makers, risk-takers, rule breakers, children’s rights advocates and rebel teachers. During any of our outdoor programs, you are likely to find our Wildlings up trees, sliding down mud slides, whittling with pocket knives, lighting fires and building rafts. We let kids, be kids. Wildlings was started out of a frustration in a lack of movement and nature in our classrooms, and an alarming increase in physical and mental health issues in our children. Our aim at Wildlings is to get more children outdoors connecting with nature, creating the village parents are yearning for and inspiring change in the education system. We have created programs for the next generation of ‘natural’ born leaders, creative thinkers and people who think outside the box. We do this through our pioneering forest kindy sessions, our wildly popular holiday workshops and training for educators and much more. Our programs help develop grit, resilience and other characteristics that will help children to be successful person in the real world. Since our beginning in 2017, over 6000 children have attended our programs and we have put over 500 educators through our workshops. So come and be a Wildling with us! Bring your kids or your grandkids to one of our programs - even if it’s just as an excuse to be a kid again yourself. And remember that children can’t learn to protect nature if they’ve never had a childhood in it.

My son absolutely loved his afternoon at the Wildlings Forest school. Getting back to basics in the bush, problem solving using nature's tools and passionate educators are a wonderful combination. We will most definitely be back during the next school holidays. I highly recommend this holiday programme.

Took the kids to bush kindy and was pleasantly surprised that we were raft building. Kids absolutely loved it

I attended a casual Wildling Forest School 'Forest Kindy' session with my 6-year-old and 1-year-old and was amazed at how quickly my son engaged (and disappeared) into the forest making new friends. I am so impressed by the thought and intention that goes into these sessions and love how it was enriching for a diverse range of age groups. My eldest loved navigating the environment, creating games and wielding stick swords with new friends while my youngest happily explored the creek pouring water from jugs to pots and filling muffin trays with pebbles. The educators and parents were all friendly and welcoming, we can't wait to attend more regularly next term!

We found The Wildlings Forrest School during the last school holidays and went on two days. Day one was next to a creek and offered lots of activities: - working with tools like a saw, hammer and nails or a hand drill (under supervision and with gloves and goggles) - building a fort - building a dam in a creek - building and sliding down a mid slide - climbing etc On the second day they were building a real raft, catching and identifying water animals and baking mud cakes. All kids had so much fun. The educators did a very good job in catering for all interests and abilities. Parents can leave, stay and even join in. I can highly recommend it. We will keep on attending each school holiday from now on.

My three kids loved this experience! Very child focused and encouraged them to follow their own desires.

Wildlings is the best. The philosophy of nature-based learning and play is in harmony with a child's spirit. It's obvious, and beautiful to watch. The facilitators are knowledgeable leaders who are making a positive change in how we think about raising children. The scenic locations we rotate through are individual and interesting, without any of the banality and constriction of a McDonald's playpen.

Absolutely loved this nature based program for my 5 year old. She loves going and playing in the mud and water. Letting her imagination go wild and learning so many new skills. Thank you Nicky and Vicci for creating such an awesome space for children to be children!
