Outdoor Parent and Toddler Adventure Playgroup primarily designed for 2-5 year olds, but we’re also great for younger adventurous children to come and experience the activities too. Accompanying adults may also learn something new!
Many of the Early Years Foundation Scheme principles are incorporated into every session, through a mix of instructor led and child led (with adult support) activities.
Each child will adventure, discover and learn through the various activities based upon a theme from the story of the week. Activities may include story time, exploring the area around them, wet play, song time, campfire and other bushcraft skill activities.
Sessions happen rain or shine, with plenty of fun and learning still to be had.
