Thursday Saplings Summer

Service Description

For the first term in Summer, we will be trialing a 1.5 hour afternoon session to allow for more flexibility with our sessions. Sapling sessions are our Pre-school Forest School Playgroup for all children 0-5 years, carers and their siblings if they are lucky enough for an inset day! The session is set up as activities and experiences set up around the woodland. Children are encouraged to explore and play with what inspires them! For consistency we keep some stations the same week in and out - the sand/mud pit, a playdough activity, the mud kitchen and the swings. Other stations we base on the interests of the children and what they have engaged with in previous sessions, seasonal activities or themed around popular books and stories. At the end of the session we always have time to reflect and come together and toast marshmallows together as a group. We run sessions on Mondays and Fridays too, throughout the year and in all kinds of weather, except high winds and torrential rain! During the winter months our campfire is lit to keep you toasty and warm. Please dress yourself and your children in plenty of layers during the winter as you will be outside for the duration of the session!😁 We are situated in a private woodland on Park Lane, Kippax. LS25 7AP. Parking is available immediately on the right after the gates - please do not park on the housing estate or block any access. The woodland is on the left and the reception area is at the furthest point from the car park. The main paths are easily accessible with prams should these be necessary, we also have toilets on site. ⭐We ask siblings that are tottering about and using resources to start paying so roughly from 9/10 months. Under 9 months are free when accompanying a full paying sibling. ⭐If you are using a pricing plan from 2022 (either the 4 or 10 session pass) and so have paid the full price please contact us and we will sort a voucher for you! ⭐Participant number is the number of children only, not accompanying adults :) ⭐ If you have any further questions, or are having issues booking your spot then please contact us!
