Our home education sessions will help your child develop a range of practical and social skills, whilst learning about wildlife.
About this Event

In relaxed outdoor settings, we run a number of home education groups where children can be themselves and work together to develop social skills and to foster a deep understanding of wildlife and a love of the natural world. Activities may include den building, woodland crafts, using tools, and fire lighting.

Events run in blocks and take place weekly, starting every Monday from 15th September to 20th October (6 Weeks)

Dates: 15, 22, 29 September, 6, 13, 20 October

This home education group is suitable for children of primary school age and children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Please come suitably dressed for the weather, as we will be outside for the whole session.

Enjoy a 10% discount on sibling tickets for Nature Tots and Home Ed programs! Bring your little ones together for a fun and educational outdoor adventure.

❗Toilets are available at Abbotts Hall Farm. For more details about site facilities, please visit the Abbotts Hall information page – you'll find the link in the address section, just below the event title. Access codes and event information will be sent out upon booking.

We have a limited number of places available for families in receipt of universal credit. We may be able to offer free taster sessions. To find out more, please email our Wilder Learning Officer at the email address below.
