Wrekin Forest School review

Researched for Holiday clubs in Telford

Trading as Wrekin Forest School CIC · Crudgington Moor Lane, Telford, Shropshire, TF6 6FQ · Service area: Telford

Wrekin Forest School in short

Wrekin Forest School runs Go Wild holiday clubs for five to fourteen year olds at its woodland site off Crudgington Moor Lane, built around bushcraft, archery, fire cooking and den building, with breakfast, a cooked lunch and afternoon cake folded into the ticket. Full days run morning to afternoon with half-day and sibling tickets alongside, and places book online [1] [2]. Our view is that this is the Telford holiday club for children who want full days outdoors rather than classroom-style childcare.

Customers speak well of it where they can leave reviews: a Google score of four point eight out of five from thirty reviews [6]. Prices are published plainly too, with full-day, half-day and sibling tickets listed [2]. Our view is that the activities read as the stronger half of the offer.

What counts against Wrekin Forest School is on the formal record: no entry under its name on the Ofsted register [5], and an active proposal to strike off its community interest company [4]. Either point alone would keep a club out of our ranked table; together they are the whole story behind its absence. Whether either position has changed since is not on the public record.

Our verdict

Our judgement: Wrekin Forest School suits you if your child wants full days outdoors with fire cooking, archery and den building rather than classroom-style childcare [1]. Prices and what is included are set out clearly [2]. What counts against it is the missing Ofsted registration and the strike-off proposal on the company record [5] [4].

Questions about Wrekin Forest School

Is Wrekin Forest School any good?

For outdoor days, the signs are promising: a Google score of 4.8 out of 5 from 30 reviews [6], published session prices and an online booking route. Against that stand the missing Ofsted entry and the strike-off proposal on the company record [5] [4]. Read the full review above, then weigh the activities against the formal gaps before booking.

Is Wrekin Forest School Ofsted registered?

No entry under its name was found on the Ofsted register when it was searched in early September [5]. That gap keeps it outside our ranked table on the mandatory registration requirement. Search the school's exact name on the Ofsted reports site to confirm the current entry before paying anything.

What does Wrekin Forest School charge?

A full holiday-club day is £42, a half day £36 and a sibling place £32, with one-to-one additional-needs care at £85, all including food [2]. Prices and tickets sit on the booking page. Confirm your dates there, and check the cancellation terms on the same page before paying.

Where does Wrekin Forest School work?

Holiday clubs run from its woodland site on Crudgington Moor Lane in Telford, with sessions bookable online and contact by phone and email [1] [2]. Check the journey from home or work before booking a week of drop-offs. Send your postcode with your children's ages to confirm the arrangement suits.

How is Wrekin Forest School ranked?

It is not ranked. It was one of three Telford names researched for our September round but fell outside the table on the mandatory registration requirement, despite strong customer scores. The record can change, so check back next round or ask the school to send its registration detail through Claim a listing.
