About Bambi Forest School

Bambi Forest School offers a nature-based curriculum, blending traditional early childhood education with forest school principles. Children aged 6 weeks to 5 years explore the outdoors, engage in hands-on learning, and develop essential life skills through play and discovery.

One of the standout features of Bambi Forest School is its forest school programs. These sessions, led by qualified educators, allow children to experience the wonders of nature firsthand—whether it’s building shelters, identifying plants, or simply enjoying the fresh air.

Bambi Forest School ensures children grow emotionally, socially, and psychologically.

At Bambi Forest School, classrooms are more than just learning spaces—they are environments designed to nurture curiosity, creativity, and connection with nature.

Bambi Forest School caters to children from 6 weeks to 5 years, with classrooms structured to support their developmental needs:

  • Possum (6 weeks - 2 years): A warm, sensory-rich space that fosters comfort, attachment, and early exploration.
  • Joey (2 - 3 years): Encourages independence, movement, and social interaction through hands-on activities.
  • Wombat and Koala (3 - 5 years): Prepares children for school with engaging learning experiences, problem-solving activities, and nature-based projects.

    Absolutely wonderful. My wife and I couldn't be happier with Lake Cathie Children's Cottage. Lovely setting and environment for the kids, and knowledgeable and caring staff who go above and beyond what you'd expect.
