Why outdoor play matters for under fives

A sandpit ready for outdoor play

The benefits of daily outdoor play for babies, toddlers and pre-school children at Twinnie Day Nursery.

Room to move

Running, climbing and digging build strong muscles, balance and coordination, all part of physical development in the EYFS.

Learning about the world

Outside, children notice the weather, plants and minibeasts, asking questions that spark curiosity about the world around them.

Healthy minds too

Fresh air and active play help children sleep well, manage big feelings and come back indoors ready to concentrate.

Safe and supervised

Outdoor areas are risk assessed daily, and children are dressed for the weather so they can play outside in most seasons.
