Children in Nursery and Reception at BISP have been enjoying the addition of new climbing equipment in our Early Years garden, bringing fresh opportunities for active play, exploration and discovery.

Climbing, balancing and finding their way across different routes encourage children to challenge themselves, take manageable risks and build confidence in their own abilities. Along the way, they develop important physical skills, including coordination, balance, spatial awareness and core strength.

These experiences form an important part of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), supporting Physical Development alongside Personal, Social and Emotional Development. As children navigate new challenges, they learn to persevere, solve problems and celebrate their achievements.

The new equipment also encourages children to play together, share ideas, take turns and support one another, helping to strengthen their communication and social skills.

Most importantly, it provides another space for our youngest learners to develop independence, discover what they can achieve and enjoy the excitement of learning through play.
