EYFS Our Learning Environment
We provide an excellent learning environment, both indoor and outdoor, that provides our children with access to a broad range of resources and engaging opportunities to support their development across all areas of learning.
We value the importance of play and make sure children have plenty of opportunities to develop their creativity and follow their interests within their self-initiated learning, which we call ‘Exploration Time.’ During this time, children have ‘free-flow’ access between classrooms and the outdoor area. We encourage the children to explore the opportunities for outdoor learning in all weathers, as being outside is so important for contributing to a healthy life-style and developing confidence, self-esteem, vocabulary and the characteristics of effective learning through collaborative work, problem-solving or risk-taking.
