Nature Tots

Explore the outdoors with your little ones at our weekly Nature Tots group

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event

Bring your little ones to our parent and volunteer led toddler group. Our Nature Tots group is for children aged up to 5 years old and their parents/carers. Each week parents and carers help the Nature Tots volunteers to organise and run nature inspired activities and together we experience and learn about the natural world around us.

Nature Tots discover Studland Bay and the landscape around them through activities and stories. The beautiful coastal setting with dunes and woodland makes the perfect location to discover the outdoors throughout the seasons.

Nature Tots meets during the BCP and Dorset school term time on Monday mornings.

Please note: sessions will not run on Mondays outside of school term times, including Easter, Bank Holidays, half terms, summer holidays and Christmas. Unfortunately this group is not suitable for childminders with groups.
