You've been in early childhood long enough to know what truly matters for children
— and it isn't more activity sheets and planning.
It's mud under fingernails, climbing trees, and the quiet confidence that comes from a child who has been trusted to explore.
But between ratios, risk-averse stakeholders, policies that weren't written with nature play in mind, and a team that needs guidance — getting a real Bush Kindy program off the ground can feel overwhelming.
Or maybe you've already started, and you know something isn't quite clicking yet — a fresh set of expert eyes could be just what you need to take your Bush Kindy program to new heights
That's exactly what the Nature Play Audit is designed for.
A clear, honest picture of where your service is — and a practical roadmap to get where you want to be.
Wildlings Nature Play Audit is not a generic checklist.
It's a deep, expert review of your service's specific context — covering everything that shapes whether nature play truly flourishes in your setting.
✓ Environment On-site and off-site spaces assessed for nature play potential and opportunity.
✓ Leadership & Staff Where your team's confidence and capability sits — and where they need support.
✓ Planning How well your current program planning supports outdoor and nature-based learning.
✓ Nature & Risky Play Honest assessment of how well your service is embracing child-led risk and exploration.
✓ Policies & Procedures Are your risk assessments and policies enabling or blocking your nature play program?
✓ Sustainability & Inclusion Environmental stewardship, cultural responsiveness, and access for all children.
✓ Documentation How your outdoor learning links back to EYLF outcomes and supports quality practice.
✓ Your Training Pathway A recommended next step — Intro, Embedding, or Advanced Bush Kindy — tailored to you.
