Outdoor Owls is an independent full-time outdoor nursery for 2-5 year olds on Richmond Hill. Inspired by Nordic traditions which promote learning through free unstructured play rather than more rigid goal orientated methods. They also go on regular trips around the local community to places such as elderly homes, Ham House, supermarkets, libraries and much more. ‘Let’s break free from the classroom walls!’ Outdoor Owls believe there are many environmental, educational, health & social bene fits to outdoor learning. “The outdoors is also a highly liberating space, with endless potential for creativity to flow. In nature’s playground, it feels like an adventure every day filled with exploration joy and excitement”.
