Come and enjoy a variety of free play in the hammocks, swings, dens, ditches and making mud pies at our Mucky Boots woodland base. Ideal for children up to 5 years of age as well as older home educated children. Siblings of any age are welcome as are childminders with small groups of children.
We provide hot drinks and biscuits for parents and childminders so you can enjoy a cuppa and a chat with likeminded people who appreciate the benefits of the outdoors. All you need to bring is a drink and snack for your children.
This group is a great opportunity if you are considering applying for our Mucky Boots Nature Kindergarten in the future for your child. You can see the site and meet staff who are happy to answer any questions.

Starting off in the nearby field behind Maryculter Church, in the Kirkton of Maryculter, we head off to the woods for a day of wild fun. With crafts, wood working and adventures around the wood there is lots of time to make things but to also play and just chill - all before an afternoon tea usually cooked on the camp fire. We then head back to the field, often a little muddier, to be picked up at 4pm.
