Our playgroup is overseen by a committee of parents and carers.

One day a week our session is held entirely in the local woods

We operate as a Funded Provider with Stirling Council. We offer fully funded places to eligible children (from age 3). Children from 2½ are welcome on a fee basis

Would be nice to see projects/items the kids have built themselves

Woodland play is excellent, its the highlight of Child’s week

Encourages creative play

Encourages risky play but in a safe environment

Encourages community involvement

Its great the children learn in their own environment of the woods

Teaches the children to respect each other

Encourages children to be themselves and have fun in their environment

Love the fact you let them use real tools

More community awareness of playgroup (Makaton etc)

Children are encouraged to go out of their comfort zone

Their play embraces the local village and community

The children’s development is celebrated with them and their parents
