Stay & Play
Children should be accompanied by a responsible adult. Our games and activities will involve adults and kids so we’ll all keep active while exploring the River Ayr Woodland.
Arrival Time
Please arrive 5 mins early at 3.55pm. We will be exploring nearby but you might not spot us if you arrive a little late (Katie can be contacted on 07751814940 – should you need to find her!).
Be Prepared
We’ll be out in (almost) all weathers. Waterproof jackets, trousers and boots are best with plenty of layers to keep cosy. Don’t forget to think about yourself as well as your wee one!
Keeping Energies Up
We know that playing outside is great for our mental and physical wellbeing, especially if we can stay warm and well fed! Half-way through the session, we’ll provide fresh fruit for the children (bananas and apples) and hot drinks for the adults too (tea, coffee, herbal).
