Discover our popular parent and toddler session where young children can explore, play, and learn through nature.

Nature Tots is an outdoor playgroup inspired by the Forest School Principles, created to spark curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of nature and the great outdoors. Every session is child-led, and each week we will give children the opportunity to explore sensory play in nature and take part in nature-based activities, such as bug hunting, swinging in the hammock, and playing in the mud kitchen, whilst maintaining a focus on early years outdoor learning through play! 🌿🐞

Session times: 10am-12pm

Tickets are £8.80 per child. Advance booking is essential.
