WOODLAND PLAY LTD

Outdoor Stay n Play

What WOODLAND PLAY LTD says

At Woodland Play we run a parent and toddler group called Stay’n’Play. It’s a relaxed and friendly group welcoming parents and carers and their children. Stay’n’Play takes place during school holidays in the Paddock at Greenbank Garden, which is a beautiful area for you and your little ones to explore and discover. The site is fully fenced creating a safe environment in which children can roam, climb, splash, dig, create and have fun!

About

At Woodland Play Ltd we are passionate about giving children the opportunity to learn through experience within an outdoor setting in a hands on manner to develop their self-esteem and confidence.

We want to enable each child attending Woodland Play Ltd sessions to have the opportunity to develop an inquisitive and positive relationship with the natural world.
