Our Outfit
We are proud to share details and photographs of our setting with you.
Outside
We are very fortunate to have a wonderful large outdoor area in which our children can play, explore and learn. We have the following designated areas:
Forest School Area
Play Equipment
Sandpit
Mud Kitchen
Reading Circle
Construction Area
Den
In the forest school area, children learn through outdoor play and exploration. We have raised beds for the children to learn about plant life cycles and to experience the enjoyment of watching seeds or plants that they have planted grow. We also have binoculars and magnifying glasses to watch bird and bug life and we also have a bug hotel, bird boxes and feeders and wild areas to encourange wildlife into our garden.

Messy Play
From play dough to painting, goo to sand, there is a different indoor activity set up each day.

This is a floor space where children can use building blocks, set up train tracks, farms etc.
