Nursery World - New outdoor support service for early years

A service offering early years settings ideas and resources to help them make the most of their outdoor space is to launch in April. The subscription membership scheme Early Years Outdoors, run by Learning through Landscapes (LTL) in partnership with the National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA), has been developed with funding from the Sure Start Unit in response to growing demand from the sector.

It will offer an advice line, a series of good practice guides with links to the Foundation Stage curriculum and the Birth to Three Matters framework, practical ideas for play, a newsletter every two months and member-only downloadable resources from the LTL website.

Julie Mountain, head of advice and support at LTL, said the curriculum's emphasis on the value of learning and play in the outdoors had created a need for a dedicated early years service.
