Phew! Those long dark nights have finally coming to an end and Spring is here!
Spring is a great time for outdoor activities. Newby Leisure recognises and values the importance of outdoor play - designing playgrounds and educational equipment that embraces and enhances outdoor education. Our timber play resources provide early years with the opportunity to have fun outdoors, as they learn and play this spring. Spring is the perfect time for children to see and understand the changes in their outdoor environment; as well as building on the prime areas of learning. Outdoor play, during springtime, aids early years development. Important skills are built outdoors such as physical and emotional development, communication, language and social skills.
