Treetots


Enjoy fun together outdoors and connect with nature 

Are you a parent or caregiver who wants to get your young child outside to play? Do you want to join with other families in your area who value time in nature?

Join us every Monday and Friday at 10am and monthly on Saturdays for Treetots; an exciting outdoor nature adventure in the enchanting woods at Fairthorne Manor for parents and children aged 1-5.

Sessions include open play activities in which your child can build castles in the sandpit, rustle up mud pies in the kitchen, create sounds in the woodland music area, and sell items at the market.

Our woodland play sessions are tailored to encourage children’s curiosity and early development, with the outside environment, create exciting learning opportunities in the fresh air, and help to bring our community closer together.

Gather around a cosy campfire to enjoy delicious warm snacks such as campfire pizza, chocolate covered banana splits, toasted marshmallows, and plenty more. Finish off the session by enjoying story time together.

We are excited to welcome you to Treetots to enjoy connecting with other children and parents in your community and make new friends and experience fun in the outdoors.

What to bring?

Your imagination! Playing in outdoor environments could be hot, cold or wet,  so it's usually more fun with appropriate clothing ready to get muddy so you can fully join in on the outdoor activities.

If you need to use a pushchair, we recommend one suitable for woodland paths.

Hot drinks can be purchased from the Family Park Café. You can save money on hot drinks if you bring your own reusable travel mug.
