Founding families

# Join the founding families

This is our waiting list. Leave your details and you'll be first to hear when places open, with dates, prices and everything you need to know. No commitment, and you can leave at any time.

the owl is ready

## What happens next

1. We send the owl: a six-digit code to your email.
2. Type the code, and you're on the list with your number.
3. You hear first when dates and prices are ready, and founding families choose first.

### Where will sessions be?

In woodland near Chepstow and the Wye Valley. To keep children safe, we share the exact meeting point with booked families only.

### Who runs it?

Elle Peate, a qualified teacher with the highest Forest School and childcare qualifications, who also helps Welsh schools with the Curriculum for Wales through Cultivate.

### How much will it cost?

Prices will be on this website when places open, and founding families hear first.
