How do I find you?
We are based in West Hagbourne (OX11). Exact location details and parking instructions are sent upon booking. Most of our sessions take place in a spacious natural setting with trees, fields, and lots of space to explore safely. Crystal kids sessions take place at The Retreat Space set on the same farm as the wild tribe field.
What should my child bring?
Weather-appropriate clothing (layers, waterproofs, wellies or sturdy shoes)
A packed lunch and water bottle (we kindly encourage healthy options to support the children’s energy and wellbeing)
A spare change of clothes if it’s muddy or wet
Any comfort item your child might need (especially for drop-offs)
We provide all materials for activities, crafts, and nature play.
What to wear
- Base layer
- Mid and thermal layers
- Waterproof jacket and bottoms
- Wellies & other waterproof footwear, trainers or suitable warm weather footwear (we do also encourage bare feet)
- A plastic bag for muddy boots and clothing
- Hat and gloves
- Any other essentials, like sun cream, sun hat & insect repellent
Good waterproof clothing is an investment and with care it can last for years. It can make a big difference to how children access the outdoors not just on our project, but also when out and about in parks and other outdoor places, where it supports their freedom to explore, play and get muddy.
Layering means that clothes can be put on and taken off, when necessary, to keep a comfortable temperature as well as allowing ease of movement.
Outer layers can be removed if an individual is feeling too hot, allowing the body temperature to drop to a comfortable level. By keeping a base and mid layer on, it prevents the body temperature dropping too much, when outer layers are removed.
Are sessions cancelled if it rains?
No — we run in all weather (unless it is unsafe due to storms or extreme conditions). We believe the outdoors offers magic in every season. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately.
Can I get a refund if I miss a session?
We are unable to offer refunds if you cannot attend a session. However, if we need to cancel due to weather or unforeseen circumstances, we will offer a full refund or reschedule your place.
Is Wild Tribe suitable for children with SEND or additional needs?
Yes — we aim to be fully inclusive and welcome children of all backgrounds and abilities. If your child needs extra support, please reach out before booking so we can make sure it’s the right fit and adapt accordingly.
Please note that the site is not wheelchair accessible.
Are the facilitators DBS checked?
Yes — all facilitators hold enhanced DBS checks and have experience in childcare, home education, or holistic wellbeing.
Do you accept government childcare payments or tax credits?
We are not Ofsted registered, so unfortunately we cannot accept childcare vouchers or tax-free childcare payments at this time.
Can I contact someone before booking?
Absolutely — feel free to email us at wildtribehomeed@gmail.com or message us on social media. We’re always happy to chat and help you decide which session is the best fit.
