Childminder and nursery groups
We have specific memberships aimed at local Childminders and Nursery Schools. We want to help ignite the children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, through appreciation of our native wildlife and natural woodland. Our parks provide a fantastic outdoor setting in which children can develop a respect for living things and the natural world, whilst extending their learning and encouraging them to take safe risks in all seven areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Learning.
An all year-round membership allows you to re-visit animals throughout the year and enables you to look at patterns in the natural environment from the new-born wild boar, red squirrels building their dreys for winter, to the changing of colour of the leaves on the trees through the seasons. From short visits making use of the extensive play equipment to full days armed with lunchboxes and drawing pads, Wildwood is a perfect addition to your curriculum.
Here’s a brief summary of why Wildwood is the ideal learning experience for your children
Testimonials
Here’s what some of our childminders and nurseries say about us;
“Running, climbing, hiding, chasing, exploring, navigating, laughing, playing!!! And this is all in the play park before we get to the animals.”
“As an outdoor nursery our membership with Wildwood was an obvious choice. A perfect exploring environment for the Early Years.”
