Weekly parent/carer and toddler group, come and embrace early spring time together in the woods!
About this Event

Weekly group for Parents/carers and toddlers aged 18 months - 5 years old. Younger siblings welcome, adults and babes in arms are free.

This is a warm, friendly and nurturing group inspired by the Forest School ethos of child lead exploration and learning. It is a special time to be in the woods with your child making new friends whist connecting to nature and having lots of fun.

Following a similar format each week with the ritual of joining at the circle to light the fire together, to having a story and songs around it at the end with a tasty snack we've cooked, brings a grounded sense of familiarity and calm were the children learn to be safe and the ancient practice of being together in the woods. From here they are free to go off to explore the activities and the woods!


What we get up to....
We make natural seasonal crafts and cook healthy snacks over the fire, play in the mud kitchen, go on adventures, forage, bug hunt, have a story around the fire, We go on Nature walks, sing songs, learn about wildlife, the seasons, the weather and how to care for nature and each other. make music have lots of free play and use our imaginations! Phew!

Each session has a theme around an animal or something interesting happening in nature at that time. Activities are great for manual dexterity, coordination, strength, balance and confidence, crafts are for you to make with your child, but also a moment for you to create something simple (no experience necessary!) whist sitting by the fire and children play.



Quote from a mum " As soon as I arrive at woodland Playgroup in the woods I feel more relaxed, it is calming and the children can just play"
