Outdoor learning
Outdoor & Forest Learning at St George's Nursery
We
believe that children benefit greatly from play-based learning outdoors. Our
children have ample space for learning in natural settings, with nature walks, sensory experiences, gardening, imaginative play and environmental
learning with our extensive grounds, including:
- a Fantastical Forest
- Wild Wood
- secret garden and fort
- Junior School all-weather playground
- 15 acres of campus and playing fields
Other
popular activities are the mud kitchens, sandpit, water play, climbing
frame, bikes and scooters and using a wide range of outdoor toys.
If
you are passionate about the benefits of outdoor learning and wish your
young child to grow and thrive in a supportive learning environment
that encourages curiosity and outdoor adventure, St George’s private
nursery could be for you.
Learning skills
Through outdoor play, our children develop creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, risk-awareness, and gross motor skills, and build strong bonds with their peers and teachers. Being outdoors at our nursery is always fun, and our children spend time outside every day.
