Our Outdoor Physical Area with Bikes

In our nursery, we have a dedicated Physical Area where children can ride bikes and enjoy active outdoor play. This space is designed to help children develop their physical skills while having lots of fun!

Why do we have bikes in our physical area?

  • Builds Gross Motor Skills: Riding bikes strengthens large muscle groups, improves balance, coordination, and body control.

  • Promotes Health and Fitness: Regular physical activity helps children stay healthy and energetic.

  • Encourages Independence and Confidence: Learning to pedal, steer, and stop gives children a sense of achievement and boosts self-esteem.

  • Supports Social Interaction: Children take turns, race, and play games together, building teamwork and friendships.

  • Enhances Spatial Awareness: Navigating bikes around obstacles helps children understand space and movement.

  • Provides Outdoor Learning: Being outside in the fresh air supports overall well-being and a love of nature.

Our bike area is a safe, fun place where children can be active, develop key skills, and enjoy the outdoors every day.
