The outdoor environment is viewed as a fundamental part of the curriculum we offer children. The garden is incorporated into the Key Workers plans to ensure it is an extension of the classroom. The children will have an opportunity to harvest their own crop and learn about the principles of growing vegetables, to celebrate the children’s work they will have the opportunity to use their produce within the nursery kitchen.
The outdoor equipment has been carefully selected to ensure the garden maintains a play based feel whilst meeting all of the children’s physical and creative needs, so there is a selection of bikes, scooters, mark making resources and skipping ropes etc. To help ensure a healthy lifestyle we have a mini gym with a selection of kiddies treadmills, exercise bikes etc.
Forest School is a new government initiative to which we will be fully implementing into our curriculum. Forest school allows children to explore the outdoors from a heuristic prospective using specialist equipment.
