Kids Outdoors

🌳 Outdoor Life at Kids World Nursery 🌳 

At Kids World Nursery, we believe that outdoor play is just as important as indoor learning. Fresh air, freedom to explore, and the opportunity to connect with nature all help children develop physically, socially, and emotionally. Our secure outdoor area is designed to provide stimulating, safe, and engaging activities for all age groups throughout the day, every day, in all seasons! 

🧸 Outdoor Fun for Babies (0-2 Years) 

Even our youngest children benefit from time outdoors, with carefully planned, gentle activities that encourage sensory exploration, movement, and curiosity. 

✔️ Tummy time on soft outdoor mats under shaded areas 
✔️ Treasure baskets with natural objects (pinecones, leaves, feathers) 
✔️ Water play with gentle splashing and pouring 
✔️ Bubble chasing and watching them float in the breeze 
✔️ Musical instruments (outdoor shakers, bells) 
✔️ Peek-a-boo and mirror play using reflective toys 
✔️ Crawling tunnels and baby-safe slides 
✔️ Sensory walls with textures and colors to explore 

🐣 Outdoor Adventures for Toddlers (2-3 Years) 

For our curious toddlers, outdoor play is all about building confidence, testing new skills, and exploring the world around them.

🌦️ Outdoor Play in All Weathers 

We believe there’s no such thing as bad weather – just the wrong clothing! With waterproofs, wellies, sun hats, and plenty of shelter, the children play outside all year round, enjoying: 
✔️ Puddle jumping on rainy days 
✔️ Snow painting and sensory snow trays in winter 
✔️ Sunny-day picnics and storytelling in the shade 
✔️ Windy-day ribbon dancing and kite flying
