About this Event
Join in the fun with our W.o.W. Week of Wildlife this May bank holiday!
This is a free-flow, child-led play session, all with a nature theme. Natural sensory items to discover, small world, role play, sand and water - resources change with the seasons. Optional led activities with our friendly staff are included too, this month we'll be bug hunting and making nature crowns.
This event is suitable for children up to around 7 years of age; siblings under 18 months are free of charge. This is a drop-in session, come when you like between 10 am and 12noon. We'll be based on the grass outside the centre. Please dress for the weather; old clothes are best, as sometimes play can get messy! Children remain your responsibility and must be supervised by an adult at all times.
