At Roundabout Nursery, we believe that some of the best classrooms don’t have walls. Whether it’s puddle-jumping in the rain, searching for bugs under logs, or creating nature art from leaves and twigs, our outdoor spaces are full of opportunities for children to learn, grow, and connect.
There’s something magical about being outside — and for young children, every leaf, stone, and breeze can become a learning tool. Outdoor environments naturally encourage children to ask questions, explore with their senses, and use their imagination freely. A stick might become a wand, a tree a rocket, a puddle a potion.
Running, climbing, digging, balancing — outdoor play gives children space to move their bodies in ways that build strength, coordination, and confidence. Physical play also helps children release energy and supports their wellbeing, contributing to better focus during quieter activities.
Outdoor learning gently introduces age-appropriate risk-taking, like walking across a balance log or exploring uneven ground. These experiences teach children how to assess situations, trust their instincts, and develop resilience — skills that help them far beyond the playground.
By spending time outdoors in all seasons, children develop a deep respect and love for the environment. Whether they’re planting seeds, watching birds, or feeling the change in the wind, they begin to understand their place in the wider world — and why caring for it matters.
In short, nature is a powerful teacher.
At Roundabout Nursery, we make outdoor learning part of every day — rain or shine — because we know it builds stronger bodies, braver minds, and kinder hearts.
