ABOUT US
Nature awakens wonder and awe, it creates curiosity and the need to explore and play. Children learn through play, they understand themselves and how things work through playing. In recent years interest in using the outdoors as a learning environment has increased. There is a vast amount of research proving that children who play and learn outdoors are happier, healthier and more engaged in their learning processes.
When we give children the time to explore their natural surroundings and discover what really interests them they are stimulated and have deeper experiences, which can positively shape their lives. Through play, exploration and outdoor adventures, Nature Plays is aimed at the holistic development of your child. These empowering experiences allow children to develop confidence, creativity, resilience, collaboration and problem solving skills that will help them on their journey through life.
