About the event

Join us at Abberton for a one-off Saturday special of our popular Nature Tots sessions for children aged 18 months to 5 years. This is a chance to get outside this Winter and blow away the cobwebs. 

Get making in the mud kitchen, hunt for worms, master the giant marble run, read stories in the quiet corner, and so much more.

The session is designed for you to arrive when your little one is ready to join in the child-led free play. We then go on a themed adventure halfway through the session.

This is a one-off Nature Tots session. If you are interested in our regular Nature Tots groups, then find out more information here!

FAQs

🌳Will we be outside? 

Yes, we will be outside for the whole session, so please dress appropriately for the outdoors. There is an outdoor shelter to provide some cover.

🎒What shall I bring? 

We recommend bringing snacks to the session, as children get hungry! Wellies and puddle suits are a great idea if you have them. The children will likely play with the mud kitchen and puddles, so wear something you don't mind getting muddy.

We are based in North Essex, local to Colchester.

Yes, there is plenty of parking at the Nature Discovery Park.

For children younger than 18 months, you are welcome to bring them along as well and do not need to book a ticket for them. For older siblings, we are happy to have them - if you think they would like to participate though, please purchase a ticket for them too.
