I work in a pre-school setting in a village hall. We have a fairly secure car park which we use for outdoor play. We have always used the outside area but now do so all session for free flow play and in all weathers.
We have lots of barriers to overcome as our landlord dosen`t let us keep anything outside and it is literaly just a concerete car park. However as long as the children are outside and we haul out water, compost,buckets and spades etc etc the learing is fantastic. I can honestly say it has revolutionised our setting and would urge anyone to access the outside as much as possiable.
Some of our best sessions are on rainy days. The concentration and learning provided by a puddle is amazing. For todays children being outside,expereincing the seasons and weather is very inportant as it is not something many do.
