At TouchWood, play is in our nature, and nature is in our play.

We are guided by the idea that play is an intuitive and irrepressible impulse, whatever form it takes. It is a spontaneous expression of curiosity and creativity. It is a natural impulse that everyone is born with that is fundamental to cognitive development, balancing emotional state, and mental and physical health.

By providing meaningful opportunities and settings for nature play, we are supporting children’s basic needs and intents and creating positive wellbeing and a range of physical, mental and emotional benefits.
