Outdoor play is a vital element of young children’s physical social and emotional development and more importantly play is a young child’s key mechanism for learning. The outdoors provide freedom to explore different ways of feeling, behaving and interacting. Children feel free to learn in a way that comes naturally to them - through play. At ESP Scotland we understand this and as such we design all of our products and services to support and meet the early years framework for “every child”. On this website we will provide examples of how our products will encourage the five areas of development...

• Emotional, Personal and Social Development
  
• Communication and Language
  
• Knowledge and Understanding of the World
  
• Expressive and Aesthetic Development
  
• Physical Development and Movement

We believe that the best classroom is roofed by the sky.
