Outdoor play is an important part of each morning and afternoon at First Steps, and we make sure children have regular opportunities to get outside unless the weather makes it unsafe to do so.

Even on colder days we wrap up warm and enjoy some fresh air together.

Our outdoor area is well-resourced and carefully maintained to provide a safe and inviting space for children to play and explore. It includes a variety of equipment, such as slides, bikes, scooters, sandpits and even a small trampoline, which children can freely access to support active, creative, and imaginative play.

While our indoor classrooms offer a rich and engaging environment, time spent outdoors adds a valuable balance to the children’s day and supports their wellbeing, confidence, and curiosity.
