Bright Beginnings Nursery is the first Falkirk Council Commissioned Partner Nursery to embark on the Outdoor Learning Project.\u00a0 Karen Thomson, Senior Early Years Officer, Falkirk Council Curriculum Support Team initially visted the staff during a meeting to discuss any issues and logistics they may face while taking on this new venture.\u00a0 Karen then attended a parents information session in February to explain the benefits of Outdoor Learning and Natural Play.\u00a0 The staff also came along to a visit to Callendar Park with Comely Park Nursery Class as an informal training session (many thanks to Comely Park staff for enabling this to happen) – staff have commented how beneficial this session was and the children at Bright Beginnings are now going out to Callendar Park to spend a nursery session outdoors.\u00a0 The feedback from staff, children and parents has been excellent.\u00a0 The Manager has stated that this has been an excellent project for all the staff to be working on and the staff who have already been\u00a0are very enthusiastic about going back (as are the children!).\u00a0 Initially it is the 3-5 year old children who are taking part in this project, however parents of the younger children are now asking when it will be their child’s turn.\u00a0 Once the staff and 3-5 aged children have established their sessions in the woods it is hoped that the 2 year old children will also have the opportunity to experience this exciting learning environmnent.\u00a0 Watch this space!!<\/p>\n

During the sessions, children were interested in Callendar House and the children visited the kitchen and the exhibition in the gallery.<\/p>\n
