Outdoor nurseries
Outdoor nurseries are what the name suggests – aside from during extreme weather, children spend their entire day at nursery outdoors.
The benefits of this include a greater understanding of nature, improved physical fitness, an innate sense of freedom and even, potentially, children learning at a faster pace.
Outdoor nursery sites are thoroughly risk-assessed to make sure children are safe, and the national curriculum is still followed.
Outdoor nurseries involve:
- Learning and playing outdoors all day long, every day.
- Using outdoor activities and experiences to deliver the national curriculum.
