Is there a local forest school?

This won't help for a 4yo, but for anyone else following this thread with a younger child, The Kindergarten nurseries include elements of Forest School in their curriculum (children take part once a week). Crescent III in particular as it has a small woodland area attached to its garden.
See link below for more info. I have no affiliation to this nursery group other than my daughter being registered for entry next year.

Thanks for all the responses and I'm glad there seems to be so much interest! Hopefully we can get a local one set up. I've contacted a few of the suggestions to see if they'd be interested. I'm happy to help sort things but unfortunately don't have time to organise / run it.

Rutherford House does forest school as part of their curriculum and come rain or shine will be out on Tooting Common searching for dragons and building huts.

Was just coming to say Rutherford House children have 2 hours of forest school each week and see Emily beat me to it! My daughter has an absolute blast, raining or not, judging by the mud on her wellies and waterproofs (and hair, face...) each Friday afternoon.
