About us:

Our Forest Stay and Play sessions are run by Emily from Small Talk, an Early Years specialist with over 10 years of experience. Emily is a qualified Speech and Language Therapist and former Montessori teacher and each session is thoughtfully set up with a range of engaging activities to support children’s development.

+ We’re proud to be partnering with Friends of Outwood Country Park to celebrate and promote this amazing local green space.

By hosting sessions in Millennium Wood, we hope to encourage more families to explore the park, get involved in its care, and return for future events.
