Below is a list that should be brought to each session:
• Food, Water, Hat, backpack to take water when hiking
• Closed in shoes - these are a requirement if booking in for fire activities (we recommend aqua shoes, gumboots or canvas shoes they're happy to get wet and muddy). No thongs please!
• Long lightweight pants to minimise the risk of bites and scratches
• Insect repellant/sunscreen
• Wet gear if rain is predicted - rain jacket, pants and gumboots
• Spare change (or two) of clothes & towel

If your child is five (5) years old or older you are welcome to drop them off for their School Holiday Program.

Children under five (5) will require the active supervision of a parent or guardian. However, under 5 years may be dropped off with prior arrangements if needed.

Nature Play allows children the time, space and tools to develop hands-on learning experiences in a completely natural setting. It’s a long term program that supports the holistic development of children through play, exploration and supported “risk taking” - such as using negogiating spaces and climbing trees. The learning environment is completely guided by children and observed by the Educator Leaders.

We are an ALL AGES program because intergenerational and peer-led play is so important for children - it’s how they figure out their place in the world. All children play and learn at a different pace and nature play means that children can explore things at their own speed and in their own time. It really is 'one size fits all' however, your level of involvement, as a guardian, may be higher with younger children

Yes, of course! If you book back-to-back sessions our staff can supervise your child during the lunch break free of charge. Just make sure you pack them lunch and send us an email to confirm you’d like this to happen.

It happens! Just let us know 24hrs before your session if you need to self isolate due to sickness. We can organise a make up session.

A bit of rain is nothing to be worried about - it’s just a part of nature’s process. Most importantly children LOVE wet weather! It provides wonderful learning experiences but also opportunities for PUDDLE JUMPIN’ and MUDSLIDES! Just make sure you (the carer) are also dressed appropriately (such as: waterproof jackets, pants and gumboots) so you’re comfortable.

If the weather is deemed unsafe WE will contact YOU via email a MINIMUM of 2 hours before your session and you will be offered a credit. We’re REALLY good at reading the weather radar - trust us we work in nature. You can also have the option to re-book with us using this booking when we cancel.

The beauty and brilliance of Nature Play is that it is completely child-led. Other than our initial safety briefing and “tool rules”, children require very little direction or instruction from Educator & Leaders. The learning environment that we create is guided by the child’s natural rhythm rather than rigid structure. Trust us, ALL children thrive in this kind of learning environment.
