Explore Play Wales
Learning through Landscapes is offering early years settings in England, Scotland and Wales the opportunity to take part in a 12-week programme designed to transform their use of nature and outdoor spaces for playful learning. The project aims to help young children fall in love with nature by improving their outdoor experiences in their early years settings.
Each participating setting will receive six in-person training sessions, delivered onsite by an LtL early years specialist, covering core themes such as why nature play, playful parents and playful staff. Every setting will also receive a high-quality outdoor clothing for staff and children and a personalised My Nature Play plan developed during follow-up visits, ensuring that playful outdoor learning becomes an embedded, sustainable part of daily practice.
Between February 2026 and July 2028, My Nature Play will be delivered across 170 early years settings throughout England, Wales and Scotland. The programme is designed to be inclusive, inspiring, and achievable, creating long-lasting benefits for children’s development, wellbeing and connection to the natural world.
Closing date for applications: 2 October 2026
