Through their play they are learning about the world as well as covering the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage.

Little Owls Woodland Pre-School is for 2yr9m-5 year olds and is based within a native Bristish woodland and follows the Forest School approach in all our learning, exploration and discovery. This is a wonderful opportunity for 3 and 4 year olds to run around the woodland cooking over fires, using tools, building dens, playing in mud, dyeing fabric with berries, learning about the trees, the animals and themselves.

The Nest is a gentle woodland playgroup based at Little Owls Preschool in Itchen Valley Country Park for babies 0-2 (until confidently walking).

What to expect?

The Nest is an outdoor playgroup with babies able to explore and discover at their own pace. Activities on offer over the term will include: toys, tuff trays, messy play, treasure baskets, musical instruments, sensory play, books, bubbles and crafts, all set out in our beautiful woodland. The sessions will be free play, then ending with a snack and some songs for those that want to join in.

Forest school is all about child led exploration, building confidence, encouraging curiosity and building nature connections. Being outdoors has so many benefits, and not just for the little ones! The Nest is a welcoming space for parents/carers to relax, recharge and meet others. Refreshments such as tea, coffee and cake will be provided

We were so lucky yesterday at Little Owls, we got to watch as the baby blue t**s take their first flights.
The Little owls were sat quietly watching them, as the day went on they kept bobbing in and out of the bird box, then one by one they flew out, landing on the shed roof, nearby branch, beams on the decking. Mum and dad were always nearby keeping and eye.
We felt so lucky we got to watch it happen. ๐Ÿฆ
