A new lotto-style ticket system is in place for the Autumn 2026 term, please read details below before submitting an entry.
About this Event

Due to high demand, we are trialling a new lotto-style system to book tickets online for this term of Nature Tots, to allow everyone an equal opportunity to attend. This system is a randomised draw, registrations do not count as a ticket to the programme but will be entered into the draw.
Entries will be open on Tuesday 26th May from 7am - 7pm. Please submit one entry per family. Any duplicate entries will be discounted. As you have 12 hours to submit an entry, there is no rush to complete the registration form, please take as much time as you need.

After entries close at 7pm, 12 attendees will be selected at random for both Monday and Friday sessions (24 attendees total).

You can submit an entry for either Monday, Friday or both - if randomly selected for both, the choice of either day will be given, you will not be able to attend both days.

All remaining entries will be added to the waiting list, which will close at 7pm on Tuesday 26th May. The waiting list order will also be randomised, capped at 10 families for each session, and issued as such if any places later become available.
You will be informed before 5pm on Wednesday 27th May if your entry has been drawn for a place in the Autumn term and will receive a link to purchase your ticket and register for the programme. If we don't receive a response from you within 1 week your ticket will be passed to the next person on the waiting list.

We will also let you know if you have been issued a place on the waiting list (capped at 10 families). If any attendees drop out ahead of or during the term, the place will be offered to those on the waiting list according to the random number assigned.

If you don't receive an email from us by 5pm on Wednesday 27th May, your entry was not drawn for either the session or the waiting list this time around.

The next term in Spring 2027 will be available on Tuesday 27th October if you'd like to try and join again then. Further details about tickets for this term will be added in the new school year.

About Nature Tots

Let your children find their wild side! Join London Wildlife Trust at Nature Tots Forest School at Walthamstow Wetlands.

Nature Tots is a Forest School programme for pre-school children age 18 months to 5 years. We engage and inspire young people and their carers to connect with nature through hands-on outdoor activities around wildlife.

During Nature Tots, children will explore their natural surroundings, discovering the animals and habitats around them. Activities include minibeast hunting, pond dipping, stories, music and nature crafts. Nature Tots helps children develop their confidence and emotional well-being, and skills in independent learning, problem solving, working with others and creativity.

Sessions are from 10.00am -12.00pm. There are 12 sessions between the dates Friday 18th September and Friday 11th December 2026). There is no session during half term.

Costs:
First child - £120 per 12 weeks
Additional sibling over 18m - £78 per 12 weeks
Additional sibling under 18m - free

One adult can accompany no more than 3 children under 5 years.

The dates for each session are below. More information about the programme can be found on our website here.

Our Outdoor Learning Activities Risk Assessment can be found here.

Please note: a registration entry on this page is NOT a ticket for the programme. If your name is drawn, you will be contacted with a link to purchase a ticket for the term, or informed you are on the waiting list.
