Learning and playing outdoors is considered to be a very important part of the daily curriculum at Harwood and where the Nursery has access to the extensive grounds of Harwood House that offer a never ending variety of opportunities to learn through play and to explore the natural world.

The seasonal changes make for numerous learning experiences for the children to develop an understanding and knowledge of the world around them and growing fruit and vegetables in the kitchen garden along with looking after the chicken gives practical examples of these changes.

 

 

With its all weather tennis court, every day is an opportunity for play and exercise along with the shade of the flowering cherry trees that provide a sensory area and whenever possible, during the sunny months we have lunch and tea outside in the shade.
