Description
Join us in term 1 2026 for our Bush Babies Sensory Playgroup program (8 weeks) at The Briars in Mount Martha, situated on the traditional Country of the Bunurong People. The Briars is a truly spectacular spot where ancient woodland, wetlands and open grasslands come together. It is one of the Mornington Peninsula’s most beautiful nature reserves, offering rich sensory experiences for little ones. We will also include some beach sessions so your baby can explore a variety of soothing and exciting sensory environments.
Our Bush Playgroup incorporates hands-on, child-led learning and discovery, adventurous play through a range of nature-based activities, nature crafts, storytelling, songs, and a bush walk.
Our dedicated team of facilitators create a safe and nurturing space where children can develop social skills, build confidence, and connect with the natural world (read more about our team here). This Bush Playgroup is facilitated by Bush Playgroup Facilitator Shaney.
