Crawley - Tilgate Park Nature Tots (03/03/2022) Thursday, 3rd March 2022 10:00 AM -

Thursdays - 3rd March to 7th April (6 sessions) - with Tamara

10am to 12 noon

Nature Tots is for 3 - 5 year olds with accompanying adults. ADULTS FREE OF CHARGE

Bring your little ones along to help them explore the natural world. This will involve getting to know the forest school site and the fire circle, woodland activities, stories and lots more!

Each week will have a different theme which will be based in a special forest school site with a fire circle as a central focus for each session. Children will learn to become confident in the woodland setting, learn basic skills, explore their natural surroundings, including storytelling and woodland activities. It’ll provide a great opportunity for you and your little ones to have fun in the natural environment and will aim to encourage an early interest in wildlife.

Meet outside the Walled Garden Cafe, Tilgate Park, Titmus Drive, Tilgate, Crawley, RH10 5PQ, which is a ten minute walk from the forest school site. Free parking available, directions will be sent upon booking.

Covid-19 Precautions

Extra measures are being taken to ensure we keep our staff, volunteers and participants safe and prevent the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) wherever possible.

Please read the following important information carefully before attending:

We encourage participants to take a lateral flow test within 48 hours prior to attendance.

You must not attend the session if you have coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms.

Or if you have a positive Lateral Flow or PCR test within the last 7 days.

If you have taken a Lateral Flow test from 5 days after the day your symptoms started (or the day your test was taken if you did not have symptoms), and another Lateral Flow test on the following day. If both these test results are negative, and you do not have a high temperature, you may attend after the second negative test result.

Please test before attendance if you have been in close contact (e.g. same household) with any person who has been identified as a carrier within the last 48 hours.

In addition, you will be asked to verbally confirm the following at the start of each session:

Declarations

I confirm that I (the participant and on behalf of your attending child) have;

  • Not experienced any symptoms commonly associated with COVID-19, Or have experienced symptoms but have tested negative within the last 48 hours;
  • Not had a positive LFD or PCR test result in the last 7 days

Please let us know if you test positive within 48 hours of the session.

Social distancing of 1 metre should be maintained wherever possible by all adult participants.

For any tasks that would require standing closer to someone than 1 metre, (e.g. bracing wood for sawing) adult participants are encouraged to wear a face mask. Numbers are restricted to help facilitate social distancing between staff, volunteers and family groups. The responsibility for managing distancing of their self and their child from adults outside their family group remains with the accompanying adult. Distancing between children is at the accompanying adult’s discretion.

While numbers are being restricted we are unable to accept additional non-paying younger siblings to enable 1:1 supervision.

Participants are required to sanitise or wash their hands at the beginning of the session and before eating during the session.

Please bring your own mug for hot drinks provided. You are welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks, however we ask that no food is passed round or shared outside family groups.

We reserve the right to adjust our Covid-19 Precautions in the light of Government advice and Sussex Wildlife Trust Policy.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Please read the following information carefully BEFORE booking

All children must be accompanied by an adult. Please wear suitable clothing and sturdy boots/wellingtons. Log fire, warm drinks and mud provided.

Sorry no dogs.

This is what one of the mums had to say about the group...

‘Sam’s been really enjoying Nature Tots. He looks forward to Thursday all week. There’s a really nice balance of activities.

I’ve been really impressed at how quickly the children have picked up the rules that keep them safe and able to have fun at the same time. Sam tells everyone who will listen what kind of sticks you need for a fire, how to walk around the fire circle and how to make the dragon sneeze!

It’s so lovely to see their satisfaction when they make a spark to light the fire or make something with the tools.

It’s also been a lovely activity for us to do together and I’m sure we’ll both miss it when he starts school.’

‘ I could not recommend Nature tots highly enough it is just superb. I am a mum of 4 and have done Nature Tots for a few years now and Tamara has always kept my son’s interested and kept him engaged in all the activities that are topical for that day. Nature tots, even after doing it for a couple of years is different every session. The activities you do are so inventive and such fun it’s not just my son who enjoys it, I love it!’
