Pre-schools, Playgroups and Nurseries Information
For children from 2 and a half years to 5 years
The Everdon Experience offers an exciting and interesting way to introduce your children to nature and the environment. All the Experiences are led by experienced and qualified Rangers.

If you go down to the woods today you’re in for a big surprise! You can find children ...

using sticks to paint with mud

or even using their fingers!

Colouring using leaves and sticks,

They may be looking under logs

Some will be making nests for the birds

Perhaps building a shelter

Maybe you’ll find some children making magic potions

In summer we may be down by the stream discovering who lives there

Or racing our ‘orange boats’ down stream
