Outings

Surrounding Kids Capers, we have a fantastic array of places to explore for our outings and trips. We recognise the learning opportunities that come with children experiencing the world around them as they become one with their surroundings. The children often head to the field next to us and the woodland just beyond the tree line - it is so close you can see it from the nursery garden. Children love heading out to gather natural resources for projects and artwork. This also provides them with an opportunity to observe nature; an important aspect of us being able to understand the world we live in. From moving brambles safely, identifying flowers and

trees, even going on a bear hunt; led by the children with adult support, naturally. 

Kids Capers also has its own registered and insured minibus and driver. Whether it is a local trip or further afield, nothing stops us from getting out and about. Knowing and understanding where you live and being surrounded by your community is

important to us and the children, it helps create a sense of belonging and identity and supports the children's Cultural Capital. 

Every year, as an extra special treat, we take the children, who are leaving us to go to school, down to Littlehampton to experience

crabbing. It is a day full of emotion, laughter and ice cream. A trip, we are told, many school leavers still talk about today.

 It all adds up to an enriched understanding of nature, our environment and the great outdoors.
