Nature is Nurture
At Hopscotch, we know that fresh air and open spaces do wonders for growing minds and bodies. Outdoor learning gives children the chance to move freely, explore actively, and build a natural sense of joy and well-being.
That’s why we created Hopscotch Explorers — our all-weather outdoor curriculum that helps children learn, discover, and thrive in nature all year round.
The Outdoor Classroom
With Hopscotch Explorers, children step into nature as their classroom — from beaches to woodland trails right on their doorstep. Each adventure is carefully planned with purpose, giving children meaningful opportunities to explore, learn, and grow.
No two outings are ever the same. We encourage children to reflect on their experiences, shaping each new adventure and making every trip a fresh journey of discovery.
Come Rain or Shine!
As part of Hopscotch Explorers, our preschool children head out once a week — to the beach in summer or the woods in winter. These regular adventures give them the chance to explore their surroundings, take part in nature-inspired activities, experiment with natural materials, and discover the magic of seasonal change.
One with Nature
These weekly adventures give children regular, hands-on contact with the natural world — from feeling the changing seasons to experiencing the weather first-hand. This connection supports our wider Hopscotch ethos: nurturing a sense of awe and wonder in every child. It also helps them grow an understanding of nature’s value and the importance of caring for and protecting it.

The Hopscotch Explorers programme was designed by Jordan, our Early Years Curriculum Lead at Seven Dials, with input from Nursery Managers and team members across Hopscotch. Together, they’ve brought their expertise — and their passion for outdoor learning — to create a curriculum that truly inspires children to thrive in nature.
