Little Squirrels is a hands-on nature group for children aged 2 and a half years to four years during school term time on a weekly basis. Sessions include activities and resources appropriate to the weather and the seasons. Each week has a different theme, and we are based outdoors for the whole session. Our sessions consist of activities, woodland craft, stories, and outdoor play.
Our nature group is intended to promote a child’s confidence and independence within the outdoors through their own discovery and connection of the space. We work in partnership with the parent carer and encourage their involvement in sharing their child’s nature experiences together. We meet at the end of bottom field unless specified by the education leader please park at Gravel Hill car park for ease, if you need directions to Gravel Hill car park please head to the Visitor Centre first for advice.
