As often as possible! All the children are free to go outside for some fresh air every day. Outdoor play fosters a love of nature and the outdoors, and encourages healthy physical activity, team play and social inclusion.

We have three gardens – our ‘Muddy Garden’, full of digging pits, climbing trees, discovery areas and a mud kitchen, our ‘Yard’, where the children can run around and zoom around on bikes, trikes and scooters, and our baby garden, small, safe and shady for the littler ones. We also enjoy the use of the huge field – with plenty of space for long walks and running around.

We usually go outside no matter what the weather. Wrapped up warm in woolies, waterproofs and wellies, the outdoors is just as fun in the rain. One of our favourite sayings at Muddy Boots is; “There is no such thing as bad weather, only wrong clothing!”.
