This fabulous offer is open to organisations and child minders, parents & carers in Witney, and those that run sessions for parents and pre-school children here in the town.
Come and join our Nature NOW Forest School Leaders for a session of child-led exploration in a green space near you.
Each session will be led by two qualified and experienced Forest School Leaders who will bring simple resources and offer support for you to go off on an adventure with your pre-schoolers.
This is also an opportunity to meet and share ideas with other
childminders, parents and carers, and for the little ones to meet and have fun together in the outdoors. Together we will build nature connections and confidence to explore new natural spaces.

These sessions are generously funded by Witney Town
Council, by way of a grant.
The Nature NOW project was originally set up by Where The
Fruit Is and Oxfordshire County Council, in response to the
pandemic and the lockdowns that stole so many
opportunities for children (and adults!) to play together.
Nature NOW (Nurturing Our Wellbeing) helps children and
adults, whether parents or carers, grow with and in nature.
Supported by Witney Town Council
