Outdoor provision
The outdoors enhances and extends on what you are able to provide a child indoors. By thinking how and why the outdoors could benefit a child, it then leads on to what to provide and how to plan for outdoor continuous provision.
If children are going to have continuous access to equipment outside, with limited adult input, it has to be structured around the child's development needs and be dressed to reflect their interests - thereby attracting the child to the equipment.
By understanding what skills need to be developed for the child you can then move on to consider what areas of your outdoor space need to be enhanced. You need to ensure outdoor play activities are just that, rather than indoor play taken outside. Make use of the space you have and ensure children are given the chance to explore activities they may not be able to achieve indoors.
