Nature Children

These sessions provide a sensory experience of activities, with interesting hidden gems in the trees and a variety of special treasures for you and your little one to take part in our sensory stories. The sessions are aimed at children from walking – 5 years old who like to get outside, keep active and explore.

Promoting Social skills: children gain increased awareness of their surroundings and heighten their senses through the woodland. Allowing children to be in a safe space which encourages respect for self, others and the environment.

Confidence: children have the freedom, time and space to learn and demonstrate independence. 

Communication: language development is prompted by the children’s sensory experiences

Motivation: the woodland fascinates children and they develop a keenness to participate 

Physical skills: these improvements are characterised by the development of physical stamina and gross and fine motor skills

Interactive: A regular rhythm to each session, creating a space where the children gain the confidence to make independent discoveries, explore and extend ideas, and develop problem solving skills and creativity.

Come Prepared

  • Great British Weather – sturdy shoes/boots and clothing that cover arms and legs are essential as we are essentially open to the elements. Waterproofs are a must to help you stay warm and dry. A change of clothes is always advisable for the children.
  • When warm, sun hats and sun cream should be used.
  • Due to the nature of activities, surfaces may be sharp or uneven, and so shoes and boots with a good grip should be worn at all sessions. Be prepared for them to get messy – it’s all part of the fun.
  • Not a necessity but feel free to bring a snack and a drink, or flask. You will also be able to use our hot water flasks to make tea/coffee/hot chocolate. Bring your own picnic rug too so you can find a cosy space to relax with your drink.
  • We will only cancel if there are high winds or due to Government Guidance. Keep an eye on Facebook and Instagram for cancellation details.
