"We had a lovely time at Forest school Colombo. My children had a great time taking part in all the nature based activities. The teachers were all excellent. They made us feel comfortable, were very helpful and ensured the safety of the children. We were served traditional Sri Lankan food for lunch which was amazing. Thank you very much for hosting us and giving us such a memorable day. We can't wait to come back in the future!"
