“Our outdoor space has had a significant impact on children’s learning and development, it now enables children to explore, discover and investigate the natural world around them.
It provides a safe and secure environment which challenges children to take safe risks supporting children to reach their full potential
The introduction of freeflow play to the setting encourages children’s choices and learning opportunities”

Previously the children using this setting were only allowed to use the climbing frame & slide four at a time. Bibs had to be handed out to identify which children were having their ‘turn’. Now they can play safely, unrestricted and with
less focused supervision making the setting a much happier place for all.

Now that the setting has a covered area the children can still enjoy the benefits of being outdoors, even when the weather isn’t at its best! Storytelling becomes even more exciting when they are cosy and warm under the UV protected cover.

Young children thrive and their minds and bodies develop best when they have free access to stimulating outdoor environments for learning through play and real experiences.
