Question 1

Do I need to book both visits at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes, BE Wild sessions are for  2 visits so they must all be booked together. If you do not book all of your visits at the same time then your booking will be cancelled. Please honour your bookings as last minute cancellations prevent other children from visiting in your place.

Where do the sessions take place?

Accepted Answer

All sessions take place at our rewilding project, Watercress Farm. The address is Watercress Farm, Bristol Road, Wraxall, BS48 1NE.

Question 3

How do we get to Watercress Farm?

Accepted Answer

Watercress Farm can be accessed from Bristol Road. The postcode is BS48 1NE and this will take you to the top of the lane. You must follow the lane to the carpark which is signposted. The what3words location is: ///lives.occurs.finely.

Question 4

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Visits to our programme are completely FREE OF CHARGE. We believe in removing barriers to nature connection therefore, your experience is funded by Belmont. We cover the experience from staff to snacks, we just ask that you organise travel to and from the site for the group.

Question 5

Is this a forest school experience?

Accepted Answer

No . Research shows that connecting to nature happens best through play. So, we base our sessions on this rather than planned activities like forest school.

Question 6

Are there toilets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We have toilets in our nature connection building which is a 5 minute walk from our woodland base. We also have fresh drinking water and handwashing facilities at our woodland base.

Question 7

How many supervising adults should we bring?

Accepted Answer

While we appreciate you may have many willing parent helpers that would like to come along, please only bring enough adults with you to cover your ratio requirements. Belmont staff are not included in your ratio.

Question 8

What if it rains or is very windy?

Accepted Answer

We love being in nature in all weathers so we make it part of the fun. We advise to check weather in advance and dress appropriately. On very rare occasions, we may have to cancel a session if there are storms or very strong winds.

Question 9

Do you provide risk assessments?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we have comprehensive risk assessments and a robust risk assessment policy which will be provided upon request, after booking. We recommend that you also complete your own risk assessment prior to your first visit and we are always happy to arrange a visit to accommodate this.

Question 10

Do you accommodate children/ young people with SEND and, or SEMH needs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we aim to remove barriers to nature connection and as such, strive to be as inclusive as possible. We do our best to accommodate everyone, however to ensure that our site can meet your groups' needs, please contact education@belmont.estate before booking.
