Nature Play
Join us for your Nature Play fix!
Nature Play is there for you and your little outdoor explorers with fun and friendly faces to say hi to. An outdoor stay and play session in school holidays for under 7s and their caregivers with a range of activities, lots of space to have fun safely and share stories in the haven of Boundary Way Community Garden.
There are also seasonal weekend Family Nature Play at Boundary Way for the opportunity for you to come and share the joys of exploring the world around us with your friends and families!
Sessions are Pay As You Feel in 2025 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.”
