Weekly sessions for 2 - 5 year olds
Nature is central to the Tiny Outdoor Explorers weekly sessions, which use Forest School and Environmental Education philosophies and techniques.The beautiful woodland wildlife garden at TCV Hollybush in Kirkstall, Leeds enables us to discover and explore nature through the changing seasons.
The sessions themselves have a flow, starting with a welcome circle in the woodland shelter. Each week there is a seasonally themed trail in the woodland garden, which you follow at your own pace, and as your child wishes. Free play opportunities, including mud play and exploring for minibeasts are encouraged every week. We have a fire to keep us warm on the colder days and enjoy campfire cooking, using seasonal ingredients, on a few sessions each half term. We finish with a nature craft or growing activity in the woodland shelter, and reflection on our days discoveries.
All sessions are designed and delivered by Lisa, qualified Environmental Educator and Forest School Leader.

As Spring moves towards Summer the woodland turns many shades of green, the trees blossom, bluebells and wild garlic flowers cover the woodland floor. Each week there is more to discover, growing and learning together.
