Outdoor experiences contribute to children’s health, their physical development and their knowledge of the world around them. We provide all children with the opportunity to take part in local outings in our community. The nursery is situated near many local community facilities such as the library, shops, parks and train station. We take them out in the “buggy bus” and for walks.
We have regular visits from the West Sussex Libraries “Book Bus”. The children visit the bus in small groups and listen to a story together read by the library staff. They can browse the books, share them together and choosing a selection to borrow for the nursery.
Our Beach School is run by our trained Beach School team and is offered to all Pre-school children. Beach School follows a holistic approach focusing on children’s curiosity and provides opportunities to explore outdoors in a forever changing environment. We have our own fully equipped beach hut on Goring seafront providing a base and shelter on wilder days! Children of all abilities have the opportunity to take part and take regular trips down to the beach where they will explore their environment and learn about the natural world. We believe that time spent on our beautiful coast – playing and exploring in the fresh air and connecting with the natural environment – provides children with an abundance of learning and developmental opportunities focusing on their health and wellbeing, safety by the sea and deep respect for the natural world.
