Our Outdoor Provision
At FAREplay Nursery we acknowledge the importance of children’s outdoor learning and its impact on each child’s development. From learning an awareness of the natural world, understanding risk, developing social skills, encouraging independence and active play, just to name a few of its benefits.
We are fortunate to have our nursery garden and our FAREplay Nursery plot within FARE Community Allotment.
We take part in daily active play sessions. Active outdoor play is one of the most natural and obvious ways for children to be more physically active. This type of activity is one of the most health enhancing with research demonstrating that children typically achieve higher levels of physical activity in Active Play than in other forms of physical activity
