Welcome to Wanderland Nature School, providing Scandi Inspired Outdoors Early Years Enrichment for 2 - 7 year olds in Nottingham.

OUR SPACE

Our Scandi Nature School consists of a sensory garden cabin, astroturfed sports pitch and wild nature area with mud kitchen & chicken coop (coming soon). In the case of high winds, we use the indoor playroom, kitchen and dining room space for H&S reasons.
