Warrington's Dunky's Forest School Hosts Open Day & Half-Term Holiday Club
Dunky's Day Nursery & Forest School, uniquely situated within the grounds of the popular Gulliver's World theme park in Warrington, is extending a warm invitation to local families for a special Open Day and an upcoming February half-term Holiday Club. These events are designed to highlight the nursery's innovative nature-led learning approach while providing essential support for parents during the school break.
Open Day Details and Activities
On Tuesday, February 10, the nursery will welcome prospective families and neighbours from 10am to 2pm. This Open Day offers a perfect opportunity for visitors to meet the dedicated staff, explore the immersive outdoor environment, and observe firsthand how children thrive in a forest school setting. Parents can engage in a relaxed atmosphere to ask questions about the curriculum, daily routines, and the benefits of sensory play and teamwork that Dunky's Forest School is renowned for fostering in children.
Half-Term Holiday Club Programme
Following the Open Day, the February half-term Holiday Club will run from February 16 to 20, operating between 8am and 5pm. The club provides flexible childcare options, including full-day and part-day sessions, specifically tailored for school-aged children aged five to 11. Planned activities are set to captivate young minds and encourage outdoor exploration, including:
- Building a fairy village to spark creativity
- Birdwatching to connect with local wildlife
- Natural printing using materials from the woodland
- An exciting bear hunt adventure
- Den building to enhance teamwork skills
- A blindfold trail to develop sensory awareness
These activities leverage the extensive woodland setting, allowing children to build confidence and curiosity through hands-on experiences in nature.
