Ages 4–6 Big colourful adventures for little Squirrels.
An hour of games, songs, sticky-tape inventions, and the occasional teddy-bears' picnic. Squirrels are our youngest section — we keep things short, joyful, and absolutely no admin.

I tell parents, if your kid leaves with paint on their face and a story to tell, we've done our job.
— Section Leader, Squirrels
Tea-makers, idea-havers, garage-rummagers — we'll find you a job that fits.
For as little or as much time as you can spare. Most of our volunteers are parents who didn't think they'd end up here either.
The stuff parents always ask.
+ What does my child need to bring?
Just a water bottle and weather-appropriate clothes for the field. Uniform comes after the first few weeks.
+ Is there a waiting list?
Sometimes. Sign up anyway — we'll tell you straight away where you stand and roughly when a place is likely.
+ My child has additional needs — can they join?
Yes. Always. Email us first and we'll have a chat about how to make it work.
+ Can I stay and watch?
First night, absolutely. After that, parents help out by rota, but you don't have to be there every week.
