Our Groups and Activities
Explorer Tots at the Farm
Our weekly outdoors toddler and preschool group meets weekly at the farm from spring through to autumn. It’s a relaxed session inviting little learners and their caregivers to enjoy together in our beautiful green space. Through hands-on activities, sensory exploration, and interactive experiences, children can explore, connect, and make new friends in a welcoming environment.
Explorer Tots at the Hub
Our weekly indoor toddler and preschool group meets year-round at the Hub. Each session is centred around free play with plenty of sensory and explorative activities to keep children engaged, curious, and having fun. Explorer Tots is also a chance for parents and caregivers to build friendships, share experiences, and be part of a supportive community while their children learn and play together.
Home Education Group
Our friendly Home Edgroup meets at the farm all year round. It offers a welcoming and inclusive space for home-educating families to learn, connect, and grow together. Through hands-on activities, creative experiences, and collaborative play, children can explore their interests, build confidence, and form friendships in a relaxed community environment. The group also provides valuable opportunities for parents and caregivers to connect, share ideas, and support one another on their home education journey.
