About Little Acorns
Our Little Acorns sessions run in the school holidays and feature season-inspired activities for children to explore, discover and connect with the natural world.
Each session is designed to be a child-led experience; our trained session leaders support and guide children but do not direct them, allowing each child to lead their own learning at their own pace, while developing their curiosity for nature.
Important information
- Please bring your own refreshments
- Toilets are NOT available at the reserve
- Dress for outdoor exploration – long sleeve tops and long trousers are recommended, and be prepared for all weathers – warm/waterproof clothing and wellies
- Our Session Leaders are trained First Aiders and all adult helpers are DBS checked
- You are responsible for the safety of your children at all times
