NATURE PLAY is...

A child-led play group

For all ages

Deep in the woods

Every Thursday regardless of the weather

and its free


The purpose of this group is for letting babies and children 'go' in nature, to play, explore and connect.


In order for our children to bond with nature and the earth they must spend time in it and on it. We have a beautiful woodland safe place for our children to play, right in this big city.


Its good for babies: In the first two years of life your baby's brain is operating in the frequency range used in hypnosis; delta and theta, these are pure download states. Babies are downloading EVERYTHING at four billion bits per second! So to be in nature and on the earth is to be connected.

Its good for toddlers and older children: Children need to play for their brains to grow to their full potential, to evolve in their imagination and creativity. Please don't bring any toys into the woods, there are plenty of 'sausages', 'horses', 'houses' etc there already.


Meeting point: On the edge of Sydenham Hill Wood, on Cox's Walk there is a bridge named Pissarro's Bridge, we meet here every Thursday at 10.30am sharp.

What to bring: Food to share, a cup for tea, picnic blanket, wet weather gear if its raining.

What to expect: The lovely people at London Wildlife Trust have given us a flat clearing area off the beaten track, there are some steps, uneven paths, kissing gates and hills involved to get there... so pushchairs should be replaced with slings or shoulder rides.


FREE

Mums, Dads, Caregivers, Nannys, Homeschoolers - all welcome.

We ask that you have 1 child per adult and no more than 3 children under the care of an adult for safety reasons.


For more information please join the Nature Play : South East London facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Nature-Play-South-East-London/207738685928324 or (if you are not on facebook) feel free to email me at [email protected].

This sounds wonderful, but if 1 child per adult it's impossible for me. :-(


I would be there in the school holidays otherwise with my 7 & 3 year old. Does the 1:1 rule apply even if 1 child is over 5/6 (or whatever?).

Yes, it means you (the adult) have to have at least one child, no more than three. That way making sure we don't have anyone one without kids turning up. And no more than three because you the adult are responsible for the child(ren) you have with you at Nature Play.


There is no top age as such, so all ages welcome.

Oh I was also always a bit confused by that sentence! In second week of Easter Hols I might come with hubby. Can we please share our one child ;)


Maybe it should say 'every adult must be accompanied by one child (unless two parents/carers attending for same child) but no more than three kids under the care of a single adult for safety reasons'


It's a bit of mare to write all that in a sentence!


Molly come along!

Well, you just never know do you.. and to be fair this is the first 'family' specific page I have put the word out to.

The group has been running for a year now through an open facebook page and word of mouth.

Its always good to cover yourself - if some odd person does actually turn up without kids (which would be rather odd, but could happen), then it is easier to point out that we don't allow such things as stipulated in the group info.

Good idea, no?

Aha thanks & sorry for being thick & misunderstanding - in my defence I was reading it in haste, honest gov!!


Lovely idea - hope to be there some time (often work Thursdays, but not always in holiday time).

Nature Play totally rules - I had been going with my daughter up until we moved to north london a couple of months ago, and loved it so much that we started a Nature Play North London branch up here! Really recommend it to anyone - you will be amazed by how your children play, and by how each week is different. The mum's are so lovely too.
This sounds absolutely brilliant but unfortunately I am outnumbered by children. Please repost if you ever run it at a weekend as I imagine a lot more people could come as they'd be 2 parents available rather just 1 during the week.

    • Hi - I posted a request for some help with a stuck door and possible leaky roof. I had responses from Lukasz at Look_as.com and Pawel at Sublime Builders. I don't see any/many reviews - has anyone used either person?  Could use a recommendation rather then just being contact by the tradespeople... Many Thanks 
    • I'm a bit worried by your sudden involvement on this Forum.  The former Prince Andrew is now Andrew Mountbatten Windsor Mountbatten in an anglicisation of Von Battenburg adopted by that branch of our Royal Family in 1917 due to anti-German sentiment. Another anglicisation could be simply Battenburg as in the checker board cake.  So I surmise that your are Andrew Battenburg, aka Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and that you have infiltrated social media so that the country can put the emphasis on Mandelson ather than yourself.  Bit of a failure. I don't expect an answer from police custody.  
    • We had John fit our PLYKEA kitchen (IKEA cabinets with custom doors) and would happily recommend him and Gabi to anyone. Gabi handled all communication and was brilliant throughout — responsive and happy to answer questions however detailed. John is meticulous, cares about the small details, and was a pleasure to have in the house. The carpentry required for the custom doors was done to a high standard, and he even refinished the plumbing under the sink to sit better with the new cabinets — a small touch that made a real difference. They were happy to return and tie up a few things that couldn't be finished in the time, which we appreciated. No hesitations recommending them.
    • Not sure about that. Rockets seems to have (rightly in my view) identified two key motivating elements in Mcash's defection: anger at his previous (arguably shabby) treatment and a (linked) desire to trash the Labour party, nationally and locally. The defection, timed for maximum damage, combined with the invective and moral exhibitionism of his statement counts as rather more than a "hissy fit".  I would add a third motivation of political ambition: it's not inconceivable that he has his eye on the Dulwich & West Norwood seat which is predicted to go Green.  James Barber was indulging in typical LibDem sleight of hand, claiming that Blair introduced austerity to *councils* before the coalition. This is a kind of sixth form debating point. From 1997-1999 Labour broadly stuck to Tory spending totals, meaning there was limited growth in departmental spending, including local govt grants. However local government funding rose substantially in the Noughties, especially in education and social care. It is a matter of record that real-terms local authority spending increased in the Blair / Brown years overall. So he's manifestly wrong (or only right if the focus is on 1997-1999, which would be a bizarre focus and one he didn't include in his claim) but he wasn't claiming Blair introduced austerity more widely.
