Delivered across 170 Early Years settings throughout England, Scotland, and Wales, My Nature Play supports practitioners, children, and families to spend more time playing and learning outdoors in nature.

We are commissioning a mixed methods evaluation to understand the difference the programme makes to practitioner confidence, children’s development, and family engagement, and a policy briefing and event series to influence wider change across the Early Years system.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape national understanding of nature play in the Early Years, inform policy and practice, and contribute to a long term legacy where every child has the chance to play, explore, and learn outdoors every day.
