This book reveals how early childhood leaders and practitioners can lead and enhance children’s play, learning and experiences outdoors. It considers all aspects of outdoor provision from the importance of the setting’s vision, routines, boundaries and expectations to the impact of staff and parental attitudes.

The book explores the benefits of the outdoor environment for children and how it benefits all areas of learning and development. Covering the role of the adult, the environment and resources at different ages and stages of development, the chapters offer practical guidance on creating high-quality outdoor play experiences for all children throughout the year. Kathryn Solly also addresses common barriers to outdoor learning and highlights the strategies that can be used to champion outdoor learning with colleagues, leaders and managers, and children and their families.

Featuring rich case studies and photographs to illustrate good practice, this is essential reading for early years leaders, managers, educators and students.
