The Early Years Foundations Outdoors course structure covers the following:

  • Building a shared vision and values for play outdoors in early years
  • Exploring how to start thinking about and planning for developing fantastic outdoor spaces for play and learning
  • Supporting staff confidence, skills, and knowledge
  • Experiencing first-hand fun, simple provocations and behaviours to make the most of children’s play outdoors

This course is appropriate for England (under EYFS outdoor provision), Scotland (under Curriculum for Excellence, Realising the Ambition and Blueprint 2020 / 1140 hours for outdoor learning and play), Wales (under the Foundation Learning Curriculum), and Northern Ireland (under the Early Years Strategy).

This is a full day, practical course with elements of group work in the classroom, but a significant proportion is outdoors. This includes periods of activity and standing, and being outdoors in all weather for extended periods. Please come dressed for the weather and conditions.

A dated certificate of attendance will be provided to all attendees by email.
