Explore and get messy at Black Park!

Join us in Black Pines Camp for some fun in the woods! We have a variety of activities for your Tot to go wild, including the mud kitchen, digging pit, water play, bug hunting, weaving, balancing and more.

Tots Go Wild is aimed at 2-4 year olds but as soon as your little one is able to walk independently they are welcome to come and join in at our exciting outdoor play sessions.

There will be one focus activity each week and other activities should always be child-led with the children being encouraged to choose what they would like to do to help them build on their self-esteem, confidence and independence. During October through to May we also have a fire which the Tots can have a go at roasting marshmallows!

Choose this ticket to casually book your child on as and when you want too. You can casually book each week or block book the full term to guarantee a place and receive a discount. Please head back to our 'what's on page' and click on 'Tots Go Wild - Block booking'.

Tots Go Wild takes place on most Fridays during term time throughout the year. Morning sessions run from 10:00-11:30 and afternoon sessions run from 13:00-14:30. We stagger the release of our tickets in line with the start of each new school term.

We go ahead in all weathers - unless deemed unsafe - so please dress appropriately!

Meeting point: Black Pines Camp (behind the picnic area, Foxley Copse). Just follow the 'Tots Go Wild' signs anti-clockwise around the lake from the car park - it is about a 20 minute walk. Buggies are welcome!

Cancellation Policy

Cancellation with the expectation of a refund or ticket transfer for a session must be made at least 7 days before the start of the booked-for session. This is to allow enough time for others on the waiting list to be given the opportunity to attend. Unfortunately, refunds are not applicable for no shows, illness (with the exception of COVID 19) or not being able to attend. A refund will be provided where someone in the household has tested positive for COVID 19 or showing symptoms and are waiting a test result. Proof of a positive test must be provided. Refunds will also be made in the event we cancel the session for example due to unsafe weather conditions.

FAQs
