🍂 Autumn Outdoor Stay & Play – Forest School Fun for Under 5s 🍁
(Home-Educating Families with over 5's are welcome but to be aware our main clientele are 5 and under)
Come and experience the magic of
Autumn at Kids Go Wild Forest School!
Our Outdoor Stay & Play sessions are designed for
babies, toddlers and children up to 5 years old, and take place completely outdoors at our beautiful Dane Bank Green Space.
As the leaves begin to change, children can explore the sights, sounds, textures and colours of Autumn through child-led Forest School play, seasonal activities and plenty of muddy adventures! 🍃🍄
🌿 What to Expect
🍂 Welcome Circle
We'll begin together with introductions and our "You're Welcome Here Today" song.
🪵 Free Play & Exploration
Children will have plenty of time for child-led exploration of our Forest School environment, with opportunities to climb, balance, build, investigate and, of course, get muddy!
🍁 Autumn Activities & Forest School Play
Depending on the session and what nature provides us with, children may explore seasonal crafts, natural treasures, leaves, mud, woodland materials and simple Forest School activities.
Our younger explorers can enjoy sensory experiences including our mud kitchen, sand pit, hammocks, tuff trays and natural play areas, while older children can begin exploring more adventurous Forest School and bushcraft experiences.
🔥 Campfire & Snack
We'll finish our session together around the campfire with a drink and snack – the perfect way to warm up after an Autumn adventure!
👶 Something for Every Age
Non-mobile babies – discounted tickets available.
Mobile babies – lots of opportunities to crawl, explore and practise standing and walking in a natural environment.
Toddlers & preschoolers – opportunities to develop confidence, communication, independence and physical skills through outdoor play.
Newborns under 1 – FREE when attending alongside an older sibling in a sling or buggy.
🦋 Thinking About Joining Our Nursery?
Our Stay & Play sessions are also a fantastic opportunity for families considering

Sessions are run by our Nursery Manager: Emma and Deputy Manager: Mandy, giving prospective families the opportunity to:
🌿 Explore our Forest School site
🌿 See the environment your child could be spending their nursery days in
🌿 Meet members of our Nursery Management Team
🌿 Experience our Forest School ethos and approach first-hand

Many of our families first discover Kids Go Wild through Stay & Play before going on to become part of our
Forest School Nursery community 💚
🌦 Why Families Love Stay & Play
Sessions last approximately 1 hour 45 minutes, giving children plenty of time to settle into the environment and explore at their own pace.
Forest School provides opportunities to:
🍁 Experience the changing seasons
🌱 Build confidence and independence
🪵 Develop physical skills through natural play
💬 Encourage communication and friendships
🌦 Experience different weather safely
💚 Spend quality time outdoors together
Up to two parents/carers per child are welcome to attend.
💚 Our Forest School Ethos
Forest School is about giving children the time, space and freedom to explore, take appropriate risks, follow their interests and learn through hands-on experiences in nature.
Our sessions take place outdoors in almost all weather conditions, allowing children to experience the changing seasons and develop confidence and resilience in the natural world.
Sessions may only be altered or cancelled where weather conditions make it unsafe for us to operate, such as high winds or other extreme weather.
