There's always something exciting going on at Toy Box Day Nursery.

Outdoor learning experiences often create lifetime memories whilst at the same time provide much more depth to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Curriculum by creating a more sensory and stimulating learning enviroment.

Our Forest Garden concept is an ideology of offering wonderful experiences to children by allowing them to take risks in a safe and secure environment.  The Forest Garden is used to implement the various elements of the EYFS. The use of the Forest Garden, with its natural resources, allows children to explore free expression alongside structured learning. Through the experiences of learning firsthand the life cycle of animals and plants, whilst eating fresh fruit handpicked by the children develops their understanding holistically and teaches children in ways that initiates conversations, deepens their understanding of the world, strengthens their physical development and much more.

The wonderful confidence and self-esteem benefits that playing and learning outside in a woodland environment bring, with the idea that children’s’ social and independence skills increase tremendously when they spend time with small groups of children their own age.  

We are  Continuously looking to develop ourselves. We have lots of ideas about the new things to add to the Forest Area. We will keep you posted by posting all the new changes right here!
