Family time in nature - A nursery school project bringing families together in East London

A Froebel Trust short film about a nursery school project bringing families together in East London.
A Froebelian approach recognises the importance of:
- adults and educators 'starting where the child is' and offering 'freedom with guidance'
- young children having the opportunity to learn and develop together; connecting with a community's rich resources.
Kay Rowe Nursery School in Newham, London was awarded Froebel Trust funding to bring families together in nature on Saturdays in their inner city nursery garden.
This short film tells the story of their project and the difference it is making for children and families in the local community. It shows how parents and carers value:
- having access to free space for their children to engage in adventurous and challenging outdoor play
- the opportunity to take part in 'messy' creative activities alongside their children
- time to connect with other families outdoors and with nature.
