Outdoor learning is essential to child development and at N, children spend time outside every day, come rain or shine. From making dens with foraged sticks, discovering bugs under tree logs, planting herbs, and splashing in water troughs, children take part in wide-range of stimulating activities both within and outside of the nursery.
Our outdoor learning curriculum is designed to give your child the opportunity to develop essential skills while nurturing holistic wellbeing, a strong sense of community, and a lasting appreciation for the environment.
Our outdoor spaces are full of opportunities for your child to climb, balance, ride, play ball games, and tackle obstacle courses. Along the way, they develop important skills like moving confidently on uneven ground, running safely, squatting steadily, throwing and kicking, using tools, and taking part in races.
From a young age, we encourage your child to connect with the natural world and take pride in caring for it. Our outdoor spaces feature planting stations and vegetable patches, where they can grow their own plants and food, learning hands-on what it means to nurture life. As they grow, we inspire them to think about ways to protect the environment and make a positive difference, helping them develop a genuine sense of responsibility and the confidence to take meaningful action for our planet.
As part of our cultural programme, the N Passport, your child has the chance to explore and connect with their local community. From bus rides and library visits to trips to care homes, they experience life beyond the nursery. Everyday adventures, like buying fruit at the greengrocer, posting letters, or visiting the fire station, help them develop a sense of belonging in the world around them.
Forest School, with its Scandinavian roots, inspires the way we create meaningful learning experiences for children.
By placing nature at the centre of discovery, children are encouraged to explore, take measured risks, and develop independence in a safe and supportive environment. These outdoor adventures nurture confidence, spark curiosity, and foster a sense of growth that helps children thrive in every aspect of their development.
