Wednesdays 10.00to12.00 crawlers and toddlers
This group will provide a calm environment for new parents with babies crawling to walking.
 We aim to provide a more open and relaxed and much calmer session; some parents prefer a calmer and smaller group for their more sensitive toddler.
This could be a good first timer group; contact us to be added onto the list or to ask for a visit.
​Please note, although we invite babies to this group, we are not stopping families with older children.
It is still a mixed age group with the majority of babies and young toddlers.


Thursdays 10.00 to 12.00
​Adult and Child group session- toddlers to young child 
This session is open to all ages and especially older children who are curious and engaged;
we especially invite families with children who are soon stepping up onto Playgroup and/or Steiner Kindergarten and  home-ed families. This group is led by a very experienced and qualified Steiner leader and will focus on adults joining in activities, domestic or crafty.
​We will be baking, making, creating seasonal handmade objects; the idea is that the children join the adults, not the other way round! The group of adults will form a mini community led by commitment and dedication. Some of our parents built toys for our playgroup, mended, added, painted and decorated.
​A lot of parents in this group will have an older child who is at Greenwich Steiner School and younger siblings at Acorns and are ready to support the school community.


Fridays 10.00 to 12.00
Adult and Child group session
This group is for toddlers and is open to parents and carers who like to connect and socialize.
​Here often parents bring cakes and like to drink tea and relax. This group should feel less engaging and more informal; The Friday Club for busy parents!

​Autumn term
@ The Wilderness
Greenwich Park Flower Garden
​each Wednesday 10.30 to 13.30
in the vicinity of the Deer Enclosure in the woodland areas

​ 'Wild Child outdoor play'
A lovely session open to all ages, inviting like minded people into nature play from various backgrounds like gentle care/simplicity parents, attachment parents, nannies, childminders and home ed families.
Acorns Adult and Child families and friends meet and children play creatively, with logs, earth, stones, sticks...you will be surprised by the wonderful ideas and the fun with very minimum adult intervention! Totally child led and unhurried.
We bring simple snacks/water and flasks, waterproofs, rugs...
or not much at all...in emergency we run to the pavilion café
in the heart of Greenwich Park for a cuppa! For emergency we mean extreme weather conditions only!
