KIDS Planet launches 1st tipi classroom Kids Planet Knowsley Safari Park, located on the grounds of Knowsley Safari in Prescot, is now home to Kids Planet's 1st outdoor tipi classroom.
Kids Planet is passionate about outdoor learning, and this latest initiative supports the company's very own nature-based approach:- ‘Udeskole’ which received the 2023 NMT National Nursery Award for Nursery Training and Development.
Designed by Head of Outdoor Learning, Rhiannon Mountain, the Udeskole approach is Kids Planet's unique take on learning outdoors, inspired by Nordic countries. It connects children, practitioners, families, and local communities to nature, and was developed to inspire and support nurseries to embrace all that is outdoors, supporting children's wellbeing and learning outcomes.
Rhiannon said:- "We are beyond excited to present our 1st outdoor classroom at the beautiful grounds of Knowsley Safari Park. The tipi is just magical and even better in real life. It is full of unique products to inspire awe and wonder and I can’t wait to see the adventures to be had. Watch this space."
