The Outdoors
”Let nature be your teacher”William Wordsworth
Evidence shows the enormous benefits that playing and learning outdoors can bring to children. We know that children are five times more likely to talk and develop language in nature. Being in nature helps with emotional self-regulation, phsyical fitness and filling our hearts with joy. As a result in every room in the nursery we have an active programme of activities which means that all our children spend a lot of time in the open air. We have a wonderful forest school that is in regular use and we are just in the process of starting our nursery allotment. All the children go on regular walks to the common and our preschool children also walk up to ‘wriggly manor’ to see their buddies every Wednesday.
