🌱 Meithrin Natur - Nature Nurture

Growing Connections Through Nature

Meithrin Natur - Nature Nurture, is a new early years outdoor wellbeing project being developed by Heol Chwarae Rôl - Role Play Lane in collaboration with families, community organisations and partners across Rhondda Cynon Taf.

The project aims to help children aged 0-5 and their families build confidence, wellbeing and connections through accessible outdoor experiences in nature.

We are currently consulting with families and running pilot activities to help shape a future National Lottery Community Fund application.

GROWING CONNECTIONS THROUGH NATURE

Nature Nurture is bringing together families, community organisations and early years professionals to explore how nature can support wellbeing, confidence and connection during the early years.
