Park Explorers for under 5s term time on Mondays

Our Park Explorers group is for children aged 2-5 years old and their parents/carers. Together we learn about the natural world around us, with a different outdoor theme each week.

  • Booking not needed

Park Explorers discover the nature of Morden Hall Park through led activities and stories. The beautiful parkland setting of grassland and woodland makes the perfect location for early years learning all through the seasons.

Sessions are on term time Monday mornings, following the Merton school term.

Meeting point: the picnic lawn near the Snuff Mill

£5 per participating child (those under 2 also need a ticket if participating).

Drop in on the day, no pre-booking possible, places limited.

Please note: sessions will not run on Mondays outside of school term times, including Easter, Bank Holidays, half terms, summer holidays and Christmas.

What to bring and wear

All you need to bring is you, but remember the group is based outside, so make sure to dress for the weather with wellies and coats in rainy weather, and hats and sun cream when the sun is out.

Accessibility

Unless the weather is very unsuitable, sessions are always held outdoors on flat terrain following paths around the park. In adverse weather, such as heavy rain, strong winds etc. we use an indoor space (ground floor). In extreme weather the session may be cancelled due to closure of the park. Accessible toilets available.

Other

All participating children need to have their own ticket.
