What we'll do

Take time out of your busy schedule once a month and replenish yourself with some quality time in nature with your little ones. Come and join me in the beautiful Admiral Wood where you can enjoy a range of nature inspired activities specially designed for parents with toddlers and young children to immerse themselves in nature. Not to mention plenty of opportunity to socialise and enjoy free play in the fresh air. Some of the activities we will do include: - Getting messy in the mud kitchen - Making crafts with natural materials and wildlife themes - Gathering around an open fire - Cooking on the fire - Making camps and dens - Having fun and testing little limbs safely on a natural assault course Each session will be themed around a book. We will develop the theme with storytelling and singing. Please bring suitable outdoor clothes suitable for the weather, preferably waterproof and layers. Please bring water or a drink for your toddlers. We have some cover, but both parents and children will be outside for the whole session. Parking is limited, so please car share where you can!

About your mentor

Connect with nature

I am a qualified primary school teacher (20 years+) and qualified as a Level 3 Forest School leader in 2021. I am a firm believer in the Forest School ethos: "Forest School is an inspirational process that offers ALL learners regular opportunities to achieve, develop confidence and self-esteem, through hands on learning experiences in a local woodland or natural environment with trees.” Forest School is a specialised approach that sits within and compliments the wider context of outdoor and woodland learning."

Cancellation Policy

Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
