We think it is important that children have the opportunity to really connect with the open spaces and the elements our local beaches have to offer. For children over 2 years old we offer Beach School experiences in a small group.
On a Beach School day children have the opportunity to go to the local beach by minibus for exploration and discovery. We meet up with our friends from Pebbles Pre-school, on Shoreham Beach or our friends at Little Elms nursery, in Worthing and share the morning together. The beach raises interesting questions which the children will often discuss together. We compile a story book of learning and experiences to look back and reflect upon. Beach sessions are available to all the older Pre-school children - the small size of the group means that each child will have the opportunity to go approximately once a month. There is no additional charge for Beach School and to support these experiences we have acquired a beach hut in Worthing, to give us shelter on the wilder days. We expect that most children will want to get involved, however if you would prefer your child did not access these experiences that’s fine too. |

Forest School for the over 3s (entirely optional)
We operate forest sessions for children aged 3+ years. Forest School sessions run from September to July and we take children by minibus into our local woodland area and Wood’s Mill, 5 minutes from the nursery. They explore the woodland together and they grow in confidence and self-esteem. We find that Forest School gives children a deep connection with the natural environment, the elements and the rhythm of the seasons. They also learn how to handle risks and how to use their own initiative to solve problems, co-operating with their friends. Often the children will bring ideas or projects back to the nursery to be carried on indoors. We do not make an additional charge for Forest School sessions. We record our experiences in a story book after every session to enable the children to capture their memories and for parents and carers to share the extraordinary days that the children have had. |
