National Trust criticised for evicting a forest school from its woods

Closing the outstanding-rated outdoor nursery in Kent is at odds with the charity's own campaign to get children to play outdoors, say parents

"Set your children free," urges the National Trust's campaign to get children outdoors. "Let them feel the wind in their hair, smell food cooking on an open fire, track wild animals and eat a juicy apple straight from the tree."

But young children will no longer taste such freedoms in National Trust woods in Kent after a forest school judged "outstanding" by Ofsted was evicted by the charity.
