Festive themed discovery of the great outdoors! 

What is Festive Fun?

 These outdoor sessions are 75 minutes long and include:

• A range of themed Festive Fun play opportunities using natural resources including Take Home craft activity,  short story and songtime
• Space for children to have fun and explore varied play activities to support their development
• Space for caregivers to play with your little one, talk to others and get in the festive spirit!

Activities are aimed at under 5s but older siblings up to 7 are also welcome! 

You and your little one will have chance to play independently, imaginatively and follow their curiosity in a safe haven of the gated outdoor areas in Gatis Community Space in Whitmore Reans and Boundary Way Community Garden in Warstones.

These sessions take place in Gatis Community Space's, Boundary Way's outdoor spaces with natural areas and uneven ground. Risk Assessments are in place and responsibility of little ones lies with their caregivers at all times. 

We advise you to bring and wear clothes suitable for outdoors - including the unpredictable British weather!

There are some sheltered areas for rainy weather in Gatis and Boundary Way and we will only cancel playing if it is unsafe.

Structure of sessions

Festive Fun sessions begin with a short time gathered together, singing rhymes and listening to a short story.  We gather together again to close the session with a song to say goodbye. 

In between there are festive activities and natural areas to explore, discover, allowing hands-on learning in a natural environment which is gated off, safe and a haven within the city.
