Picture of boy with a net investigating rock poolIncreasingly, as the educational markets are becoming more creative in utilising the outdoors as a classroom and we as a nation are becoming more aware of the hidden potential of the outdoors and progressively more comfortable with their destination for their children whilst in formative education or pre-school settings, demand is higher than it has been for 60 years in the UK. For those who have easy access to the 11,000 miles of shores that surround the British Isles, it is not surprising that these are becoming an inspirational learning environment and parents and carers as well as educators are seeing and experiencing very positive impacts on their children.
