Learning Through Play In The Early Years
In our nursery, we focus on children’s learning through play, learning outdoors and laying a solid foundation in pre literacy, writing and numeracy skills. All our nursery staff are experienced teachers and early years practitioners. They have excellent knowledge of ways in which children learn and develop, and a clear understanding of possible next steps in children’s education.
Outdoor learning
Outdoor learning, with its practical hands on approach, is a vital component of nursery education at Colinton. It provides the perfect environment for children to learn naturally about taking risks. Through outdoor play, children learn to explore, investigate, ask questions and problem solve.
The nursery have recently had funding from the parent council to invest in outdoor clothing to allow all children to enjoy outdoor learning in all weathers.
