Small grants have helped turn an outdoor play area into reality. This included:
- bikes and ride on’s, messy play, a tuff tray, mud kitchen and waterwall
- climbing equipment and balance beams
- an exploration table with seasonal outdoor items and magnifying glasses
- a slide, swings and a see-saw
The children can also explore an old canoe, loose piping, guttering and tyres. There's even a stage to encourage role play.
Emma’s family also pulled together and built all the outdoor equipment themselves!
Emma has demonstrated how outdoor play can have a positive impact on children’s physical, mental and social well-being, as well as their learning and development. In offering a variety of outdoor activities, Emma has built curiosity and confidence in the children, whilst internalising an appreciation for our environment from a young age.
