Mini Explorers
Nurture, inspire and develop
Not your average parent and baby group
The best way for your baby or toddler to learn is by exploring the world around them. And, at Mini Explorers, they can do just that. Nestled in our Forest School at Winterbourne House and Garden, your little one will discover new sounds, smells, and sights – essential to the development of young minds – whilst you make some new friends and see just how much fun you can have as a family in the great outdoors.
Your community
Mini Explorers isn’t all about babies and toddlers; it’s about grown-ups too. That’s why when you join us, you’ll be a part of a supportive, friendly community. This is your chance to get out and meet other parents and guardians, while trying something new with your little one.
Every session will be led by our experienced, Level 3-qualified Forest School Leaders, so you know you and your baby are in safe hands.
Wonder-filled adventures
