0-2 Years - Woodland Sessions - Little Nature Explorers

When and Where

​

Thursdays, 10.30-11.15am in term time. 

Session dates: 3, 10, 17, 24 Nov, 1, 8 Dec. 

Location: Nettle Hill, Ansty. This site is a multipurpose venue so there may be other groups on site. For the first session, we will meet at red door of the art shed, right of the main carpark). Then, we will follow the rainbow ribbon sticks to the woodland area.

Our Little Nature Explorers is a space for you as parents/carers to come and unwind in the outdoors with your child and connect with others. Every week, we have a song, story, time to explore and play, teas and coffees. There is an opportunity to explore nature through the senses with a little treasure basket on each family's mat space. Dip in as you wish and enjoy the warmth of the fire. Snuggle up in a hammock under the trees or have a play in the mud kitchen. At the end of the session, we gather to sing a nature-inspired goodbye song.

​

Spending time outdoors from an early age is very beneficial for physical and mental wellbeing. It helps to shape long-life positive environmental attitudes. Experience the ever-changing surroundings in the natural world and become connected with nature.

What to Expect

A mat will be provided to sit on.  If you would like further comfort / warmth, please bring additional blankets.​

Dress for the weather (it is cooler in the woods) and for mess / mud - full weather suits are recommended for little ones.

We recommend wellies or walking boots for grown-ups and closed-toe shoes for walkers!

Bring a flask or cup (tea and coffee will be available).

Baby carriers / slings are recommended due to the nature of the site.
