The Bushcraft staff were amazing and the students had great fun. The toilet per student ratio was low, and the toilets and shower need upgrading. Conditions were not great. Food was ok, but it would be helpful if a bit of salt and pepper were added to the food or be made available for those who need it. Based on my observation and the observation of my team, the Bushcraft staff seem to lack safeguarding training similar to what teachers receive. I thing that this would be useful for the Bushcraft staff, seeing that they regularly interact with students. Overall, the trip was good. (July 2024 - Secondary School)

This residential was really engaging and gave the students a real opportunity to try out things they had not done before. (November 2023 - Secondary School)

Due to the centre being outdoors, the weather is a big factor which can affect the trip. I would advise a warmer month to partake in a residential here as there is no indoor space. (October 2023 - Secondary School)
An amazing provider that we've used for many years and will continue to use in the future! The staff were excellent with our students, the itinerary was engaging and the environment was idyllic. Would definitely recommend! (August 2023 - Secondary School)

A fun and engaging trip that provided many a 'first' for the Year 5 cohort of children, both being away from families as well as an opportunity to engage with nature. Many thanks Bushcraft! (January 2022 - Primary School)
Fantastic experience. Some organisation queries but staff very attentive. (December 2021 - Primary School)
Boughton woods was a great trip. The pupils were able to experience something out of their comfort zones and experience the outdoors. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and engaging with the students. (October 2021 - Secondary School)
The students had a great day on the trip. The staff were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and knew how to engage the girls fully. They were happy to go the extra mile and were very accommodating. (October 2021 - Secondary School)
This was our first Ed Vis during the pandemic. We took our largest ever group of pupils to Bushcraft. Bushcraft Risk Assessments provided by The Bushcraft Company were extremely helpful in assisting us with our advance planning. The visit was full supervised by Bushcraft staff throughout and was as Covid safe as could be made. There were also 5 Westwood staff in attendance throughout the residential visit. We did have to make one complaint to Bushcraft whilst we were on the visit, the number and variety of activities was not what we had come to expect from Bushcraft, this was swiftly rectified after our complaint. the problem seemed to be due to a new site manager just not being fully au fait with usual practice (September 2021 - Secondary School)

Overall they are an excellent company but due to activities I would not send children over the age of 10.
The staff that work there are excellent but quite often under staffed which puts a strain on the people working. (May 2019 - Primary School)
Right form first contact, everyone has been supportive, helpful, enthusiastic- can't recommend highly enough! (May 2019 - Primary School)
