Festive Fun

Festive themed discovery of the outdoors!

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 Boundary Way Community Garden in Warstones.

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!

Sessions are Pay As You Feel in 2024 with support from National Lottery Community Fund

Activities are aimed at under 7s, taking inspiration from outdoor settings and most importantly, are fun! Younger babies are welcomed too with sensory baskets available.

Your little ones will have chance to play independently, imaginatively and follow their curiosity in a safe haven of the gated woodland area in Boundary Way Community Garden in Warstones and Gatis Community Space in Whitmore Reans.

“We had so much fun today exploring outdoors. The mud kitchen was very messy and great for little imaginations to blossom. We loved exploring the plants and leaves with the microscopes to see what we could see. The wooden building area was a hit with my little boy as well. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.”

Capacity and Environment

There are limited spaces and individual resource baskets. You can see our full policies and choose your session to book above.

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.
