Hadleigh will probably be too much for him with the hills but could be worth it to spend time on the jump track and skills area. Epping is lots of short flat hills as well

are worth checking out

you can also create a fantastic flat route around the river lee starting from any one of the car parks like fishers green lane

When you say Warley I'm guessing you mean Thorndon woods? I've got an eager 4 year old who's been riding since he was 2 and he can just about manage the hills in the lower end, although carrying his bike up the larger hills on the way back up is par for the course. The skills park loop at Hadleigh is great as its really quite flat and he can do it for hours if he avoids the drops.
I'll have to check out the other suggestions as I'm getting bored going to the same places all the time. Maybe Ingrebourne next with him

Hello Thanks for messeages

Muddypaws- Yeah sorry I mean Thorndon Woods thats my boys current favorite then the pump track at Stratford (not really allowed on we had a sneaky go)

Ingrebourne was good he manage the climb ok their but very short trail some nice bits for kids.

Going to have a look into cyclopark.

Can I also ask what bikes people have for their kids?
