Work Matters: Training - Developing the outdoors - Explore your space

Training can be tailor-made for settings wishing to improve their use of whatever outdoor provision they have. Crispin Andrews reports.

A high-quality structured outdoor environment within which a child can learn, interact and be physically active, is crucial to their long-term development. Finding training that focuses on children's needs will help unlock the environment's potential.

National school grounds charity Learning Through Landscapes (LTL) provides a range of training courses. 'We tailor our courses to the needs of the practitioners,' explains Annie Davey, early years development advisor with LTL. 'The length of the course - a day or a twilight session right through to ongoing support for a set period of time - varies according to a setting's requirements.

'We offer basic level support for those who are only just starting to use their outdoor space and more in-depth development for the more experienced setting to extend their provision.'
