Forest Friday:
Here at nursery, we offer extra circular sessions called ‘Forest Friday’ at no additional cost to families. Forest Fridays allows the children to express themselves without the constraints of space that they have indoors.
We believe that Children who play outside in all weathers are more likely to be active in their adult lives.
Outdoor learning supports children to develop confidence, self-esteem and independence through hands on experiences within nature.
Forest Friday is a fun, safe way for children to experience supported risk taking on a larger scale then they would indoors.
