My Buzz
Love Outdoor Learning is an award-winning education consultancy providing curriculum-led outdoor learning that works in real schools.
Founded by Carol Murdoch, the business works with nurseries, schools, local authorities, and wider education services across the UK to embed outdoor learning in ways that are practical, inclusive, and aligned with curriculum and inspection frameworks.
At the heart of the approach is a simple belief: every space is an outdoor learning space. From concrete playgrounds to urban settings, Love Outdoor Learning helps educators use the spaces they already have to improve engagement, wellbeing, and attainment — without adding to workload.
Based in Scotland and working nationally, Love Outdoor Learning provides training, consultancy, and published resources that turn outdoor learning from occasional activity into sustainable, everyday practice.

Build your business around a real problem you understand deeply. Love Outdoor Learning grew from the reality of classrooms, not theory. Listen carefully to what people actually need, and create solutions that make their lives easier, not more complicated.
Also, don’t wait until things feel perfect. Start with what you know, learn as you go, and trust that consistency over time builds credibility, confidence, and opportunity.
