Lyndsay is your learning facilitator. Each session has a main activity children can choose to join, such as nature crafts, clay play, open-air cooking, gardening or silent discos. There are also books, crafts and games, with space to explore the land, follow a side quest or simply do your own thing. There’s no pressure to join in. Children can watch, dip in and out, take breaks or stay close to their parent/carer. No diagnosis is needed. PARENTS, CARERS & SIBLINGS Stay and join in with your child, follow their lead, or enjoy a cuppa in the potting shed while they explore. Non-participating siblings are welcome too.
