Nature Tots
Get outside with your little ones and explore the wonders of nature in Gloucestershire with Nature Tots. We engage pre-school children in hands-on outdoor activities themed around wildlife.
Activities are age-appropriate and designed to promote greater confidence in the outdoors, physical and social development, and an interest in the natural world.
Nature Tots head out in all weathers so please ensure you and your little ones are dressed appropriately.
Who needs a ticket?
Nature Tots is suitable for pre-school children. Children who can confidently walk independently will get the most of out of the activities. Each Nature Tot that is walking and would like to participate in the session needs to book a ticket for the session. Accompanying adults do not need a ticket. We ask that a maximum of 2 adults accompanies each child.

Went along this morning and it was brilliant! My grandchild absolutely loved playing in the woods and getting wet and muddy! The organisers were lovely and there was such a range of activities. We’re so lucky to have this on the doorstep.
We absolutely love coming to the event - so much to keep us entertained and changes each week with lots of different activities.
Our upcoming sessions
Safeguarding and Risk Assessment
Safeguarding and risk assessments are imperative to keep Nature Tots safe during sessions. Below you will find the GWT safeguarding policy and the generic risk assessment for all Nature Tots sessions. We also do an 'On the Day' risk assessment following a site check by the staff member leading the session on the day of each session and including any additional risks related to the specific sessions activity. If you would like a copy of the on the day risk assessment for a session or more details on how we implement the safeguarding policy please email learning@gloucestershirewildlifetrust.co.uk
The children and adults attending each session are made aware of risks and mitigation measures at the start of each session.
