Fancy a gentle summer break w ith your little one at Othona West Dorset. Let us do the planning\, cooking and herding! This five-d ay holiday is designed for families with very youn g children (0-5) offering a relaxed rhythm of play \, creativity and connection for both children and their grown-ups. We will mostly be onsite explori ng and playing within the grounds of Othona\, but will include a couple of half-day trips out to the beach and to a local café with guineapigs\, torto ises and other small creatures.
\n \nSo you
can look forward to:
\n • Beach adventur
es: walk down our meadow path to Chesil Beach for
sand\, shells\, and fresh sea air.
\n • On
-site play: toddlers can enjoy our climbing frame\
, paddling pool\, and other safe play areas.
\n • Nature & exploration: walks through our wo
ods and den building\, maybe a shady picnic or two
. Campfires and stories/songs to go alongside.
\n • Creative freedom: let loose with our ar
t materials\, we hope to do this outside so can be
REALLY messy and let the children have a REALLY f
un time.
\n • Community & calm: shared (
catered for!) meals\, laughter\, and space to rela
x together.
\n • Rest & rhythm: a pace tha
t works for toddlers\, with plenty of quiet time\,
naps\, and early nights (likely also early mornin
gs!).
\n
\n Our resident family at Oth
ona know how to create a welcoming environment for
toddlers and their carers as they have a two year
old themselves! She knows all of the best playing
spots on site and her parents are active and orga
nised- ready for (mostly controlled) adventure!
\n We bring warmth\, creativity and experience\
, helping you and your child enjoy a relaxed and n
urturing holiday.
Other family members are welcome\, but this holiday is created with to ddlers at the heart. If you would like to come but are not in a position to finance your holiday\, p lease get in touch and talk to us.
