Wild Explorers! Outdoor Learning & Forest School for Families
For families who want to learn and grow together
Young Wild Explorer Parent and Toddler Group
Wild Explorers is FREE for lower income families in Taunton, especially the Halcon, Lambrook and Lane and Priorswood areas.
We want to work with families who feel ready for some change. To get outside more, to get healthier, to find ways to get through life ups and downs. To give space to your children and to yourself so that you can grow together. And all outdoors. Young Wild Explorers Parent and Toddler group is a fully funded project and is for children under the age of 5 years old, to come to the woods and explore the natural world. These sessions are based on the Forest School approach and each week will have lots of child lead play.
We run during term time only and each session we provide a free lunch and hot drinks. We can lead out waterproofs for little ones and adults too, along with wellies if you need them. We will run in most weathers, although wind may cause us to cancel.
Each session is from 12 – 2, so enough time to get older ones from school, if needed. We can provide free transport with pick-up points from Priorswood, Victoria Gate and Halcon. Places are limited.

(If you can afford to pay for treats and time outside, then look at some of our other projects or email us and ask what’s available.)
Our woodlands are home to roe deer, badgers, foxes, squirrels and other mammals. These carry ticks which can bite humans, so we recommend long trousers, proper shoes/boots and tops you can tuck in. We will provide insect replant to prevent them biting. Special attention needs to be paid to small children and in long grass/sedge.
If you get a tick bite, please read this leaflet before you remove it.
