In a time when we seem to be losing touch with nature and the world around us, what better start in life to give your children than letting them attend a Nature Nursery!
Nature Nurseries are a way of giving children in their early years the opportunity to learn and develop in a natural environment, sparking their natural motivations to explore, create and be curious about the world around them.
Like our sister nursery Wild Monkeys Childcare, our Nature Nursery follows the same Forest School ethos.
So, what is a Nature Nursery?
A Nature Nursery is a way of giving children in their early years the opportunity to learn and develop in a natural environment, sparking their natural motivations to explore, create and be curious about the world around them. Essentially we deliver a nature-based, child-led learning experience, come rain or shine, letting children get hands-on with nature and the natural environment.
At Wild Monkeys, our main Nature sessions happen several times per week, spread out to make sure that as many children as possible can take part in sessions, which is why we ask parents to always send their children in with suitable clothing for the weather!
What does my child gain from Nature Nursery?
Nature Nurseries encourage children to work together, helping them to develop their social skills and their communication & language skills. It also helps their fine and gross motor skills.
Being outside improves mental and physical health, communication, and social relationships – and more. Today, only 21% of children in the UK regularly play outside! Nature Nursery encourages children to enjoy being outdoors, and lets them teach themselves how to create their own play and learning opportunities, important skills for childhood and adulthood.
How does Wild Monkeys offer their Nature School provision?
Due to our setting location, we are extremely lucky to be only a few minutes walk from the downs. This will enable regular trips into the great outdoors to explore the changing environment.
Our qualified Forest School Lead Rachelle from Wild Monkeys Childcare will lead this program and ensure our staff are trained and always up-to-date with the current policies and standards.
When not out in nature our children will have access to the garden every day, no matter the weather, and we encourage all of our children to spend time outside every day.
