The World Outside Kindergarten: Where nature nurtures and learning comes alive
Are you looking for a nursery where your child can grow in confidence, independence, and curiosity – all while immersed in the natural world?
The World Outside Kindergarten is a woodland-based early years setting in Kidderminster offering children aged 2 to 5 a unique opportunity to learn and thrive through outdoor experiences.
Rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted and located in the secure grounds of Baxter College, we are proud to be the first dedicated outdoor early years setting in the Wyre Forest.
Why Choose The World Outside?
We embed Forest School principles into our daily routine, offering a rich, hands-on curriculum that encourages resilience, curiosity and emotional well-being. Children spend the majority of their time outdoors – caring for animals, growing vegetables, exploring woodlands, and connecting with the natural world.
By blending the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) with outdoor experiences, we support your child’s holistic development:
- Improved physical health and stronger immune systems
- Greater emotional intelligence and mental well-being
- Stronger communication and social skills
- Natural engagement in early literacy and numeracy
- Confidence to take measured risks and develop independence
A warm indoor space is available during extreme weather, and children regularly enjoy preparing and cooking wholesome snacks over the fire as part of their learning.
School Ready, Naturally
We understand that many parents want reassurance their child will be ready for school – and at The World Outside, they absolutely will be.
Our approach develops the key skills children need to thrive in a school environment:
- Listening and attention
- Early reading and writing skills
- Numeracy through real-life experiences
- Self-regulation and independence
- Confidence to speak up, ask questions and solve problems
Children who attend our setting go on to school not only ready to learn — but with a strong sense of self, natural curiosity and the resilience to face new challenges head-on.
