Outdoor space
Staff use the outdoor area and local woods extensively for learning, with activities in the garden (for example, using tape measures to compare heights) and trips to the woods to build Stickman characters from natural materials. These activities support physical development, early mathematics, literacy, problem-solving and children's interest in nature.
