Introducing the New Nature Steps Garden
At First Steps Cornwall, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our new outdoor space: the Nature Steps Magical Garden. This enchanting addition to our nursery offers children a unique, hands-on learning environment that encourages exploration, creativity, and a deep connection with nature.
Thoughtful Design for Exploration
The Nature Steps Magical Garden has been thoughtfully designed to provide an immersive experience for our young learners. With winding paths, sensory zones, and areas for imaginative play, this garden aims to stimulate curiosity and foster a love for the natural world. Each corner of the garden offers something new—whether it’s a bug hotel, a mini-beast hunting area, or a quiet space for storytelling beneath the trees, children are invited to engage with their surroundings in meaningful ways.
Exciting Addition: Our New Climbing Wall
One of the most exciting features of the Nature Steps Magical Garden is the addition of our new climbing wall. This fun and challenging structure encourages children to develop their physical strength, balance, and coordination, all while enjoying the outdoors. The climbing wall offers an adventurous experience, helping to build children’s confidence and resilience as they conquer new heights.
Discover the Tranquil Pond Area
Another beautiful feature of the Nature Steps Magical Garden is our serene pond area. This tranquil space is designed to help children connect with nature as they observe pond life, such as frogs, insects, and aquatic plants. The pond offers a peaceful spot for learning about ecosystems, fostering an appreciation for wildlife, and encouraging quiet reflection amidst nature.
Focus on Sustainability and Learning
The Nature Steps Magical Garden also emphasizes sustainability. Many of the materials used in the garden have been recycled or upcycled, teaching children the importance of caring for the environment. The garden includes raised beds where children can plant and tend to flowers and vegetables, gaining hands-on experience in growing their own food.
Enhancing Outdoor Learning and Well-being
Outdoor learning is an integral part of our curriculum at First Steps Cornwall, and the Nature Steps Magical Gardenenhances this philosophy. By spending more time outdoors, children develop vital skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, and resilience. The garden encourages them to be active and engaged, boosting both physical and mental well-being.
We are incredibly excited to see the positive impact the Nature Steps Magical Garden, with its climbing wall and pond area, will have on our children and look forward to sharing this magical space with them every day!
