Episode Synopsis

This week, Sophie is joined by Corey Grey to dig into one of the most powerful (and sometimes overlooked) parts of Early Years learning: the garden.
From climbing frames to mud kitchens, crates to sticks, outdoor spaces are more than just play—they’re places where children build resilience, problem-solving skills, creativity, and a love for nature. But what if your garden is small, or equipment is limited? Don’t worry—we’ve got ideas to make even the simplest spaces rich with learning opportunities.
Together, Sophie and Corey share practical tips on choosing equipment, using natural resources, and getting children involved in caring for their outdoor spaces. Whether you’ve got a big garden or just a small patch, this episode is full of inspiration for making the outdoors a true classroom.
Tune in for fresh ideas that will get you rethinking what’s possible outside! 🎧
