Outdoor Play

Children can access our safe and secure outdoor play areas with adult supervision. Playing outside provides opportunities for children to use all their senses, to experience wonder and enchantment, to work on a larger scale, to develop their motor skills, learn how exercise can be fun and to enjoy a greater sense of freedom and independence. The benefits of young children  playing outdoors are enormous :

It gives children space to run, climb, roll, jump, hide, and use up energy

It means children can play with natural things like water, sand, mud, grass, bark and twigs.

It’s fun for children to discover the natural world, for example seeing which creatures come out in different weather.

It helps children learn about the seasons and our wide range of weathers by experiencing it themselves.

It develops gross motor skills , fine motor skills and spatial awareness

It helps develop children’s senses – sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste.

It gives children the chance to see what it’s like to change their environment – digging, making large dens or making mud pies.

As well as practicing our gross motor skills & spatial awareness outdoors our educators also offer a weekly fun filled fitness program at no extra cost to parents.

He's doing really well and thriving
My son has been going since November 2022, he's 19 months now. He's doing really well and thriving. He loves going and always has the best time. He has learnt so much from going and the main thing for me is that it seems very clean. He doesn't come home with too many bugs or illnesses which was one thing I was nervous about. Thanks to the management and the whole team of aunties!2023

She has come on leaps and bounds since joining the nursery
My little girl loves coming here; she has come on leaps and bounds since joining the nursery. The staff are amazing with the children, and there are always smiles in the nursery. They make you feel reassured and keep you up to date with what activities they have been doing in the nursery. Honestly couldn’t recommend the nursery enough; I won’t be sending my little girl anywhere else. So glad I found the little gem of a place.2023

Would wholeheartedly recommend to any parent
The staff and management have been fantastic with our son from day one, the range of activities provided and fed back to us through the portal has been first-rate. As have the themed days based on British and International celebration days. The support shown to us and our son throughout his development challenges were above and beyond and we can think of no place we would rather send him. All in all, a fantastic nursery - would wholeheartedly recommend to any parent.2023

He has massively progressed since joining
My son has been going to The Bridge for a year now, and he has massively progressed since joining. He has learnt so much and has made some cute little friends. I also love how we get daily updates on what he has been doing in the nursery that day. Honestly couldn't praise The Bridge Nursery enough for all they do for their children.2023
