Hornsea Nursery School’s new outdoor nursery and forest school is based within an existing local authority site funded by the East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
The nursery, which will continue to offer indoor provision as well, is registered for 120 childcare places. The outdoor nursery provides 26 places and is run by qualified teachers and forest school leaders. Both indoor and outdoor places are funded by the local authority, but parents can pay for extra sessions.
Headteacher Claire White said she hopes if the outdoor approach is a success, the nursery will be able to increase the number of outdoor places and employees.
