The visit came after Haddo Woodland Kindergarten in Ellon, Aberdeenshire worked with NDNA Scotland on a new toolkit to support settings to incorporate the Rights of a Child into daily practice.
It was one of a number of settings to contribute to the development of the toolkit. In particular staff at the Kindergarten worked on a floorbook for the resource, which captures children's understanding and awareness of their rights, regardless of their age or stage of development.
The Toolkit has been launched to coincide with Scotland committing to incorporating the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into law.
The Children’s Commissoner for Scotland, Bruce Adamson, and his team joined children from the Kindergarten, an outdoor setting for two to six year olds, to learn about how they use nature-based play to teach sustainability, conservation and environmental awareness.
