Developing outdoor provision in Early Years and Key Stage One

In this CPD training, we trace where “typical” outdoor continuous provision really comes from and address the root cause of common issues in your outdoor provision. You’ll see exactly how to redesign your outdoor space around David Sobel’s seven principles of natural play, linked directly to the three Prime Areas of the EYFS. Watch first, then use the companion Audit Handbook below to put it straight into practice in your own setting. Join The Alfresco Hub to watch it now!

Outdoor provision audit

Most outdoor areas end up looking the same; a sand tray, a water tray, a mud kitchen, because that’s what everyone else has, not because anyone worked out why. The Outdoor Provision Audit gives you a different starting point, built around David Sobel’s seven principles of natural play to help you audit what your outdoor space is really offering, principle by principle. Inside: a simple rating scale, prompts to capture what’s already working, reference ideas for every outdoor play behaviour, and space to turn the gaps into a real action plan for your team.
