Outdoor learning is an important part of life at Awsworth Schoolhouse Day Nursery.
Our outdoor environment gives children the freedom to explore, investigate and learn in ways that simply cannot always be replicated indoors.
Whether they are digging in the soil, planting seeds, watching plants grow, collecting natural treasures or noticing the changes in the seasons, children have countless opportunities to connect with the natural world.
Our outdoor spaces also encourage children to be creative and imaginative. They can build, create, experiment, solve problems and work together with friends. Sometimes they might find a quiet space to enjoy a story, have a peaceful moment or simply take time to observe what is happening around them.
Every outdoor experience brings something different. It might be energetic and adventurous, or calm and reflective — and both are equally valuable.
Through outdoor play, children develop confidence, resilience, independence, communication and problem-solving skills, while building friendships and discovering what they are capable of.
At Awsworth Schoolhouse Day Nursery, the outdoors isn’t simply somewhere we go to play.
It is another place where children learn, grow, explore and flourish.
