'Little Explorers' is an exciting new approach to 'parent and tots groups' held in an outdoor woodland environment! A group for children from 18 months to four years, incorporating messy play, stories, crafts, and all the fun of the forest! Each week provides an opportunity to explore the woods, swing in our hammocks, take part in craft activities, and enjoy the freedom of nature!
You and your little ones will spend one-and-a-half hours in the woods, enjoying crafts, stories, and play, with a real campfire for toasting marshmallows!

Refunds are not available, but you can still transfer your bookings to another date, as long as you transfer up to 3 days before the event that you originally book on to.
If it is 3 or less days until your original booking, then unfortunately it is too short notice to transfer. We feel that we keep our prices low in comparison to other Forest School companies who charge double and more. We also allow you to transfer your booking if you can’t make a session that week. The admin of refunding bookings would mean we would have to raise our prices in future.
Our instructors are Forest School trained, have fully enhanced DBS checks, are outdoor first aid trained with an emphasis on child first aid, and are qualified in food safety and catering. All our activities are risk assessed.
Sessions may not be suitable for siblings under 18 months, but bring them along to see as every child is different!
