About the event

Join our friendly Nature Tots staff and volunteers to explore the nature reserve and enjoy wildlife themed activities suitable for children aged 18 months to 4 years. We have a different theme each month, eg mini-beasts, dinosaurs or weather,  and every session includes wildlife exploration, sensory play, stories and crafts. We start with child-led play and then come together for a story (it's a good idea to bring a snack for your child to eat at this point, and we provided tea and coffee for grown ups) and usually some singing before we move on to a few extra activities, often including a craft. A lovely way to spend quality time in the great outdoors with your child.

Please note activities will take place outdoors - dress for the weather! We will start outside, then when it gets too chilly we'll head into the centre for the second half of the session to warm up with a story and crafts by the stove!

You only need to book a place for your child, not for the accompanying adult. It's fine to bring baby siblings along, they do not need a ticket. 

We are committed to keeping our visitors, staff and volunteers safe. Please DO NOT attend if you or your child are unwell, or testing positive for an infectious illness, such as COVID-19. Your consideration is hugely appreciated.

Please note the centre is accessible by public transport with regular buses (including connection to Didcot Parkway railway station) serving Milton Park, a few minutes walk from the centre.
