Our Playground

What makes our outdoors special?

We believe that activities and learning outside is one of our main aims. Children need to be challenged and take risks if they are to grow and learn. We have a large outdoor environment, which gives young children many opportunities for this personal development which is the key to all learning.

What we continue to offer!

Outside play offers children to use all of their senses and to be physically active. We offer space which other settings cannot.  Children learn by moving, doing and exploring, they can experience first hand the weather, the seasons and nature as well as working in different ways and on larger scales than indoors. Children can be more exuberant and messier than indoors and can enjoy a greater sense of freedom and independence.

‘A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in its own right, and it provides the foundation for children to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up.’
