What to expect?
An hour before the session starts, we begin constructing the prepared environment, laying out fresh experiences for your child to discover.
Your child might catch & learn about worms, paint with daffodils or see “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” brought to life on a Tuff Tray! Each session has a different theme.
There are also permanent features that children never tire of, like our pond, mud kitchen or bug hotel.
There are moments as a group, such as Candle Time to wrap up the session, but the majority of the time will be led by your child. Our friendly staff are always nearby, helping you both make the most out of the activities scattered through the setting.
There will be a healthy snack you can both enjoy, such as fresh fruit, or pitta bread and home-made soup.
We also have tarpaulins on hand if it rains!
