July '25: St Laurence Primary's review of their chosen Woodland Workshop:

"I think the session was amazing and both Vic and Rosa were brilliant with the children. They adapted the session well for the cohort and there was a really good mixture of adult led and child initiated learning. My class were fully engrossed throughout the session and there were plenty of proud moments along the way – sparking a fire, toasting marshmallows, building dens and exploring the wild.         Loved it!

Max was equally as fantastic, he greeted us on arrival, made sure we had everything we needed, supported us with the pizza oven, checked in throughout the day. A thoroughly enjoyed day by all, children and staff and we will definitely be returning again next year, thank you for all your hard work and friendliness. "
