About us

FossoPLAY is an outdoor nursery for children aged 3 – 7 years old. We are based near the Crook of Devon, in Perth & Kinross, and operate from our woodland site, based at Fossoway Stables.

Our aim is to provide nurturing and inspiring outdoor experiences for children through child-led play and the use of our rich natural environment.

The idea for FossoPLAY began because I believe passionately that children should have the chance to play freely in the outdoors, to discover the wonders of nature and enjoy the benefits of the physical and challenging environment. As a parent of two young children myself I wanted to be able to give my children a nursery experience that was right for them. Sadly my own two are now too old to benefit from FossoPLAY but I’m very proud that we are developing something that, hopefully, hundreds of other little play experts will get to enjoy.

You can find out about our founders on the Our People page and read more about Chris’s motivation for setting up FossoPLAY in our first ever Blog post- “Great oaks from little acorns grow”.

Thanks for taking the time to read our little story.

Best wishes,

Chris.
