Tap into the latest ideas for maximising the potential of your outdoors by signing up for the Nursery World Outdoor Learning and Play conference, being held in London on 1 February.

Key areas of discussion include:
- Training staff on implementing outdoor play – this is crucial to ensure that your nursery places the outdoors at the heart of its learning
- Using the natural environment cost effectively - it need not be expensive to equip and resource
- Maximising limited space - how you can make a small space exciting for children
- EYFS - gauging the changes for outdoor play
Speakers including Jo Gordon from Mindstretchers (top), Peter Catling from Woodlands Park Nursery School and Children’s Centre (right), Dee Townsend from Mace Montessori and Neil Farmer, early years consultant (far right), will provide practical advice and case studies in the context of treating the outdoors as an integrated part of day-to-day nursery life.
