The Carrot Club

Little hands, muddy boots and outdoor adventures.

Nature-inspired sessions for toddlers and their grown-ups

The Carrot Club is a welcoming outdoor group designed for toddlers and their grown-ups to explore, play, learn and connect with nature together.

Through fun, hands-on activities, children are encouraged to discover the natural world through sensory play, storytelling, creativity and early years horticultural experiences in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Every session has its own seasonal theme inspired by nature, growing and outdoor exploration. From planting sunflower seeds and learning about tiny shoots growing into towering flowers, to creating fairy toadstools, muddy play and nature crafts, children learn through curiosity, imagination and play.

Our sessions encourage little ones to:

  • Explore nature with confidence
  • Develop fine and gross motor skills
  • Build curiosity and problem-solving skills
  • Enjoy sensory and creative play
  • Connect with the outdoors in a safe and nurturing space

Activities may include:

  • Mud kitchen play
  • Nature trails• Storytelling sessions
  • Seasonal planting
  • Nature crafts
  • Scavenger hunts
  • Sensory play
  • Wildlife discovery
  • Outdoor art and creative activities

At the heart of The Carrot Club is the belief that children learn best through meaningful play and real experiences in nature.

We want children to splash, dig, build, grow, create and discover at their own pace while developing a lifelong connection with the natural world.

And of course, no visit to The Carrot Club would be complete without meeting Lorenzo, our much-loved Carrot Club rabbit!
