NEWS!!
Our Stanmer Park site is now SIGNED OFF!!
​
After a very long wait, and a summer full of adventuring, our beautiful new home at Stanmer Park has now been signed off, and we are ready to move in!!!
​
Join us for fun, games, and FIRE this October Half Term!!
(EXTRA DAYS from 20th Oct for Independent Schools!)
​
There's lots to do at our Half Term Clubs, including:
​
Exploring the Woods
Den Building
Fire Making
Toasting things on the fire
Facepainting
Arts and Crafts
Free Play
Chilling out in the Quiet Zone
Tree Climbing
Digging
Story telling
Singing!
​
Free to roam in our safe, secure little forest area, NatureKids can explore, play, build dens, use sparkers, and of course… make fire!!!
As usual, the Creativity Box will be there to make things with, there will be tarps to make shelter, and even games to play once you've built your den. The Chill Out area will of course always be there if you want to take some quiet time, and Base Camp will be a bustling hub of sparking, fire lighting, and good chat. If there's a specific activity/art/craft you'd like us to do, please get in touch with your ideas. As usual, anything natural that will be fun to do outside is welcome- tents, bug catchers, den building stuff, magnifying glasses... If it doesn't beep or glow, bring it along!
​
We will provide marshmallows for toasting; bring some fruit to roast on the fire as well! (apples and bananas work well!).
We will provide some dark chocolate to put in your banana (if you bring one), and cinnamon to sprinkle on your apple!
​
We will laugh, have fun, sing around the fire, eat lunch up trees, and of course... do facepainting!
​
Come and join us!
​
Lots to do, so bring your friends and have fun!
​
Spaces are limited, and most of our mainstream clubs have sold out this year, so book early to avoid disappointment!​
​​​​​We are screen-free, device-free, and believe in the value of good, natural fun.​​​​

Club details below.
“From the moment my five-year-old son arrived at NatureKids, Zoe went out of her way to make him feel welcome. He had a fantastic time, participating in a wide range of fun and engaging activities while making new friends. He especially enjoyed the games and face painting.
The group size was perfect—not too large to feel overwhelming but big enough to meet new people.
In my son’s own words, his time at NatureKids was "brilliant!" I’ll definitely book him in again. A big thank you to Zoe and the team!”
Hannah, Mum, Lewes
"Our son loves Nature Kids.
We love how the children can choose what they want to do. The setting is beautiful and Zoe is amazing too!"
D, Mum, Lewes
"NatureKids is my favourite club! Some other clubs are hard to beat, but this one beats it by one- because you get to choose what you want to do."
L, aged 7, Lewes

Getting Ready
NatureKids are encouraged to pack their own lunchboxes, healthy snacks and water bottles, and to think in advance about how they want to spend their day. Is there anything they need to bring?
Favourite mini board games/card games they would like to play? Sketchpads/notebooks/ bug catchers /binoculars?!
​
We encourage NatureKids to name their things to ensure they don't go walkabout, and not to bring their MOST precious stick, just in case.
​​
Change of clothes (in carrier bag) just in case, and raingear a must!!
​​​​
We ask that NatureKids avoid bringing sweets or high sugar snacks, as it makes everyone's day easier.
We will provide a LIMITED number of marshmallows for toasting on the fire.
We appreciate your support on this.

​
We LOVE being outside. But who wants to be outside all day when it’s freeeeezing?!!!
Our Winter Holiday Clubs decamp to our beautiful central Lewes location.
We have a nice, warm, large room for playing games, and a lovely garden to run around in the breaks.
We encourage NatureKids to bring their favourite card games/board games to play (think wet play at school), and we have a range of creative activities to engage in. We even have our own little kitchen to bake in! As always, it's up to NatureKids to decide for themselves what they want to do. Lots of ideas welcome!
We think NatureKids inside/outside is the perfect balance in the winter!
There's lots to do at our Winter Holiday Clubs, including:
​
- Make warm cosy indoor dens with blankets (and fairy lights if you bring them!)
- Play your favourite board games/card games
- Bake biscuits in our own little kitchen
- Arty/Crafty things
- Explore the Book Box! (snuggle up and read in our cosy book corner)
- Facepainting
​
There is also a beautiful garden to run around in in the breaks.
​We are screen-free, device-free, and believe in the value of good, natural fun.
​
​Spaces are limited to just 15 kids per day, and our recent clubs have all been FULLY BOOKED,
