Welcome to Wildling Haven
Find the Wild Within
At Wildling Haven, we create nature-inspired playgroups where children and their caregivers can let their creativity run wild through sensory play, messy play and open-ended nature experiences.
Our stay and play sessions across Tauranga and the wider Bay of Plenty give babies, toddlers and young children the freedom to explore, create and connect with nature through hands-on discovery.
Each session offers a relaxed space for children to explore, get a little messy and connect with nature while caregivers slow down and enjoy the moment together.
Join us at Wildling Haven for fun, interactive sensory and nature-based stay and play sessions for curious wildlings.
Unleash the wild within our haven, where our wildlings (children and adults alike) can explore their creativity and imagination. We are dedicated to crafting environments that foster exploration and self-expression, allowing everyone to celebrate their unique essence in our natural setting. Connect with fellow families who share your adventurous spirit.
Embark on this journey and let yours and your child's inner wild flourish!
