Woodland Outdoor Kindergartens is an indoor /outdoor kindergarten where some children spend on average 6 hours every day outside in local woodland, playing and learning, Others spend time in a new and stimulating indoor space with access to a secure garden and surrounding areas.
Woodland Outdoor Kindergartens works in partnership with Glasgow City Council. We are providing a unique experience to work at the kindergarten but with a small group of children indoors, providing day to day care and education for some our youngest explorers.
