Outdoor Learning
Being outdoors and active is a vital part of growing up and living a healthy and fulfilled life.
Children will learn best when all their senses are involved and engaged in self-initiated, hands-on exploration of the world around them. The outdoor environment provides a great opportunity for all aspects of children’s development and learning including physical, cognitive, social, mental and emotional.
Benefits of outdoor learning:
Encourages an active lifestyle
Understanding risks
Develops problem solving skills
Appreciation of nature and environment
Develops social
Encourages independence
Improves multitasking and planning

We enjoy all weather at Brimmond, from sunny days, rainy days to snowy days and windy days so appropriate clothing is a must as we want your child to fully enjoy their outdoor experiences. We can provide waterproof suits but if you prefer to bring your own, that is great. Every child will have a change of clothes in their nursery bag, and a pair of welly boots. Thank you for your cooperation in providing these things.
