Outdoor Learning
The Playroom is based in Ventnor on the Isle of Wight. We often take groups of children to the beaches, forests and parks to explore our wonderful local environment.

We find that children benefit greatly from being in the great outdoors for a variety of reasons, including their physical health, well-being and exciting opportunities for shared discovery.
