In our Nest Studio our children have the choice to free flow throw the studio inside and out. Here is a little video of the learning that has been happening here at Sonas Huntingdale.
Learning is best promoted when children and educators collaborate and learn together. Enriching, stimulating and child-interest based environments to explore engage children’s attention and curiosity. Hands-on, active, messy play supports movement through the stages of play.
Each child’s level of participation influences their own learning outcomes. We aim for active participation to support higher levels of learning. (Psychosocial Theoretical Approach/ Piaget)

LO 1.2 Children develop their emerging autonomy, interdependence, resilience, and sense of agency.
LO 4.4 Children resource their own learning through connecting with people, place, technologies and natural and processed materials.
