We speak to Natasha Sharma, Sussex Wildlife Trust communities and wildlife officer
Tell us about Nature Tots at Rye Harbour Nature Reserve
Nature Tots is a play-based morning of fun, activity and exploration in the great outdoors, with learning progressed over a five week programme.
It’s where you can discover the world of frogs and snails and nature trails this spring with a wonderful adventure for 3-5 year olds. Expect hands on play, stories, craft and skill in the great outdoors. Drink and snack included and sessions take place on Wednesday mornings from 10am -12pm.
Who can come? Do parents come along too?
It’s for children aged 3-5 years old, who are accompanied by a parent or carer.
Where does it take place?
We are mostly based outside in the log circle, beach and saltmarsh at Rye Harbour Nature Reserve.
What sort of thing happens?
We run sessions based around the seasons and wildlife at Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, we do craft, songs, stories, physical challenges and fun.
What if I’ve got more than one little one?
Ideally we prefer one parent for each child to help with some activities, but it’s also possible to come with two of your own children.
What does it cost?
Each session costs £5 for Sussex Wildlife Trust members, or £7 for non-members.
What would we need to bring?
Come dressed for the weather, with warm waterproof layers, wellies and gloves for cold days and long sleeves, trousers and sun cream for hot days. A snack, drink and mug are provided, but do bring your own water/drink and snack as well.
Starts in March. Booking essential – for more information see here.

These sessions are brilliant
The last one I attended was full of very happy enquiring children who were totally engaged with the variety of activities throughout ( no mean feat)
Parents spoke highly of it too ✅✅
