Description

πŸŒ²πŸ§šπŸΎβ€β™‚οΈπŸŒˆOn Sundays, we meet under the big pine in the middle of lovely, wooded Grangewood Park, SE25. Our Grangewood Park meeting point (and Mudder Earth β€˜HQ’) is now on Google Maps. 

For Mondays WE HAVE MOVED TO OUR NEW AUTUMN-WINTER BASECAMP: The Meadow outside St John the Evangelist, Upper Norwood, SE19 2RX (also on Google maps)

🌿🌸Activities vary across the seasons and little ones needs and interests, but always include:

  • Lots of child-led free-play like messy mud kitchens, minibeast spotting, potion making, giant bubble blowing, face and body painting...πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸŽ‰πŸ«§
  • Grown-up supported craft and other activities like art with natural & recycled materials (wings are a winner for example!), making bird feeders, nature stories...β›ΊοΈπŸ”¨πŸ¦‰πŸͺ½

πŸŒΏπŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘§Designed to connect you and your little ones to nature, other local families, and yourselves

Groups are capped at 15 families to keep things intimate and vibes chilled. All are welcome.

β˜•οΈπŸπŸŠAll our playdates include fruit kebabs or hot chocolate (with self assembly activities) + fruits sacks for children, and a selection of teas and coffees for adults.

We play outside whenever it is safe to do so, so PLEASE DRESS FOR BRITISH AUTUMN layers, waterproofs and sturdy boots, or extra socks in wellies. Remember this applies to you too :)

πŸ’¦Please bring drinking water for you and your children

Please bring a reusable cup if you can - sealable good if you're in your toddler chasing era β™»οΈβ˜•οΈ

You can PARK FOR FREE at both venues on immediate surrounding roads. We recommend:

  • Wharncliffe Road for Sundays at Grangewood Park
  • Sylvan Road or Auckland Road for Mondays at the Church Meadow. Please do not park in the Church car park, as this is needed for access for Weddings, Funerals etc

Both sites are fully pushchair accessible.

On Mondays at The Meadow we can now move into the Hall at story time, and for the whole session inside (rather than cancelling) when it would be unsafe to play outside.

We usually sell out this playdate in advance (thank you!), so please don't count on walking in - but it may be a bit quieter in school holiday periods
