Mamas in Nature
Support Group For New Mums And Their Babies
Cardinham Woods Group
This group welcomes all parents and carers but is specifically aimed at women to help support them through the transition into parenthood. Claire our Founder and Director established this group around the same time she had her own daughter and was struggling herself. This group is run by the wonderful Kelly Edwards and as a mother herself understands the highs and lows that it can bring. We are passionate about supporting women and their young children in the early stages of life and we want to share with you the huge benefits that nature has on our health and wellbeing. Bringing together a group in a safe, supportive space can bring everyone positivity, connection and joy. Each week there will be a cosy campfire with some campfire treats and hot drinks, singing, Makaton signing and stories around the campfire, outdoor play and seasonal crafts, mud kitchen, sensory play, mindfulness and grounding exercises for mums/carers and babies/ young children. The sessions offer parents and children time to choose what they are interested in, free play and some group activities and games.
When : Mondays 12-1:30pm
The cost is £8 per session for one adult and child. Additional children can be added at a cost of £3 per session. There is no charge for additional infants (under 12 months).

Improve Wellbeing
We offer time to discover what you and your child enjoy. We explore mindfulness and grounding exercises for mums/carers and babies.
Enjoy The Fresh Air
A cosy campfire, campfire treats, play, crafts and walks in the woods are very much part of these sessions and make the most of being outdoors.
Story telling and singing, seasonal crafts and getting hands on in the mud kitchen give your child lots of options for fun in the fresh air.
Build Connections
Building connections with your babies and other mums is a very natural progression as you have time to relax and enjoy each others company.
Supporting All New Mamas
Wednesdays (term time)
Mamas in nature supports new Mums and their babies. This safe, supportive space can bring everybody positivity, connection and joy. The feed back from Mums is really positive with members feeling more relaxed, supported and calmer.
Mama’s in Nature is only £8 per carer per session. We are working continually to make funding available for these sessions so please speak to us if you are unable to meet these costs.
Access to these sessions is for existing attendees or via social prescribing. If you are interested in sessions because you feel you or someone else may benefit from attending, please email info@badgerforestschool.co.uk to discuss.
What you might need
We are outside all year round so warm and waterproof clothes (for you and for baby) will help you enjoy the sessions. We have a range of outdoor clothing, slings etc which can be borrow for the sessions at no charge, so don’t worry if you don’t have all you need. If you have a sling or pushchair suitable for woodland walks and a change of clothes for baby, as they may get muddy and wet, bring them along.
We also have use of an indoor space where needed.
