Outdoor Learning and Active Play in Dullatur

At Craigard Nursery, we provide stimulating experiences that allow children to develop their capabilities to be the best they can be.

 Our approach centres on Active Learning and utilising our exceptional outdoor environment to build confident, capable, and resilient young people.

Our Outdoor Classroom

Forget four walls, our natural setting is the ultimate teacher! Our location in a conservation village gives us an excellent outdoor space where every day is a new discovery.

Ignite Their Curiosity! Every moment outside lets your child engage all their senses, investigate, and let the natural environment ignite their curiosity. This is how they form meaningful relationships with nature, others, and themselves.

Physical Strength & Coordination

As children engage in physical activities such as climbing, running, and exploring, this helps improve their gross motor skills, coordination, and overall physical health.

Resilience & Independence

By taking on challenges and learning to problem-solve in a natural setting, they build self-esteem and a sense of agency, which are essential for their overall wellbeing.

Creativity & Imagination:

Activities like storytelling, nature art, and imaginative play develop cognitive and creative abilities, alongside emotional and social skills.

Ignite Their Curiosity!

Active learning in our nursery environment is specifically designed to transform playtime into powerful development, building essential competencies for school and life. The natural environment allows your child to engage all their senses and investigate freely every day, igniting their curiosity and helping them form meaningful relationships with nature and their peers.

Learning to Think Creatively

Through activities like building blocks or completing puzzles, children develop their problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, learning to create solutions to challenges.

Promotes Physical Development

Active play, dancing, playing catch, and crawling through tunnels helps children develop their motor skills and coordination.

Develops Social Skills

When children participate in group activities, they learn to cooperate, share, and communicate with others during games and pretend play.

Supports Emotional Development

Engaging in enjoyable and challenging activities like drawing, painting, or playing with sensory materials builds a strong sense of accomplishment and self-confidence.
