Early years
These sessions provide many opportunities for children to display the ‘effective learning characteristics’ outlined in the EYFS Handbook 2017 – playing and exploring, active learning, creating and thinking critically. We can also adapt many of our Key Stage 1 and 2 sessions for EYFS.
‘We loved every minute!’ Tredworth Infant School
Minibeast Detectives
Children find out about woodland habitats by playing an exciting game in the meadow before going on a minibeast hunt. As part of their investigation, children get to grips with using bug pots, magnifying glasses, identification charts and other essentials. Sessions finish with the opportunity to handle some of our special minibeasts! (Subject to availability.)
*This session is available April-July only.
Wildly Creative
Children explore colours, patterns and textures in nature, and are inspired by the forest around them to create natural artworks and decorations.
Changing Seasons
Book two complementary sessions, exploring the changing seasons at Wild Place: Visit us in autumn/winter to discover how wildlife survives cold weather, then return in spring as the woods and meadows come to life. See our new seasonal visit discount for more information!
Forest School Taster
Explore our new Forest Camp and take part in a variety of activities designed to develop confidence, teamwork and physical skills. Activities can tie into literacy using stories and fairytales you’re reading together, help develop communication, or explore the senses… just let us know your objectives!
