Continuous Provision in the Outdoors

Continuous provision in the outdoors refers to creating learning opportunities for children in an open-ended way. It is about inspiring children to learn and explore through the environment itself, rather than relying on structured activities. The key is to consider the possibilities within different learning areas and how they support children's learning. Continuous provision should be carefully planned and adjusted regularly, ensuring that it is not limited to specific seasons or occasions but available every day. By making the outdoor environment inspirational and exciting, practitioners can encourage children to engage in outdoor play and experience the joy of learning.
