Was reading the local paper today and there was an article about a new outdoor nursery for 3-5 year olds. Apparently the children will spend the majority of their time in a wooded area of a large park and will only use a local hall in bad weather.
They will follow the national curriculum but will also learn den building, animal tracking and vegetable planting. The ratio of staff to children will be higher due to the outdoor environment.
I know that nurseries like this already exist around the country and I go between thinking it's a genius idea and thinking it's completely nuts! I would love the idea of my DS getting fresh air and exercise all the time at nursery, but then I remember that I live in Scotland and it's a bit cold.
What does everyone think? Should I get his name down?
