Nature Explorers gives young children the chance to discover the natural world through seasonal, hands-on activities in and around the Playhut garden.
From planting and growing to exploring leaves, bugs, flowers and changing seasons, the sessions encourage curiosity and help children develop an early connection with nature through play.
How to join:
Everyone is welcome at the Playhut! There's no need to book in advance — families are welcome to drop in, or you can reserve a place through our website.
Sessions are free for families living in Kensington and Chelsea. For families living outside the borough, the cost is £3 per family, per session.
