OPAL Play and Outdoor Learning
As part of our commitment to high-quality play, GC Hideout is proud to align with the OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) approach, which is embedded within the ethos of Gorse Covert Primary School.
Children are actively encouraged to spend time outdoors during all sessions, engaging in rich and varied play opportunities that support their physical health, social development, and creativity. Outdoor play is available in most weathers (with appropriate clothing), and resources are provided to encourage exploration, problem-solving, and imaginative play.
Our outdoor provision includes:
- Free play areas
- Access to natural materials
- Creative construction
- Den building and loose parts play
- Opportunities for active and social play
