  • Summary

  • This episode explores outdoor play and young children's connections with nature.

    Froebel was a pioneering educator who invented kindergarten. The word kindergarten actually means ‘garden for children’. Froebel’s vision was for a garden which offered space for young children's play and exploration, with educators making time for children to be in contact with nature. 

    How can schools and early years settings support outdoor play for young children now?  And, what if your setting is in the middle of the city or has very limited access to outdoor space? 

    You'll hear from:

    Beverley Dickinson - Nursery Manager at Tiddlers Wraparound in Caerphilly, Wales

    Holli Williams - Froebel Trust trustee and Head of Schools at Linden Tree Nursery Schools in South London

    Janice Marriott - Head of Tuff Kid Nursery in Golders Green in North London

    Felicity Thomas - a Froebel Trust Travelling Tutor and former Head of Earlham Nursery School in Norwich
