Warrington nursery children learn the importance of outdoors during Discovery Week
Children at Kids Planet Warrington nursery have enjoyed an afternoon of creativity and outdoor play this week as part of the nursery group’s nationwide Discovery Week this month.
Babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers and parents were all invited to take part in a special woodland session, to give the whole family chance to observe firsthand how children learn and play in natural environments.
Kids Planet Warrington, which is located on Legh Street, has direct access to outdoor play areas making it perfect for learning outdoors, as well as easy access to the town for frequent visits to the library, museum or park.
During the activity, the children used a variety of natural and craft materials such as wool, bamboo, leaves, feathers, clay, and stones, to create colourful ducks. Feathers were a particular favourite, with the children proudly decorating their creations before running to hide behind trees, laughing and playing together.
Rebecca Gee, nursery manager at Kids Planet Warrington commented on the activity, “It was wonderful to see the children so engaged with nature and using their imaginations to create something unique. Activities like this really highlight the joy of outdoor learning, and it was lovely to share the experience with families so they could see for themselves how play helps children learn and develop.”
The activity is just one of many planned across Kids Planet nurseries during Discovery Week, designed to showcase the unique learning opportunities and experiences on offer for children and families.
