Staff are highly sensitive to children's individual needs. Staff make accurate assessments of children's learning and give careful consideration to children's education, health and care plans, using this information in the planning of activities. Through precise and purposeful training opportunities, staff are now more confident in their abilities to support children's unique needs. Outdoor space Children enjoy spending time outdoors. They impressively climb and descend the slide, balance along planks and excitedly jump on the small trampoline, developing strength, coordination and control of their bodies. However, the outdoor learning environment has not been given the same level of consideration as the indoor areas, meaning children who prefer to learn outdoors are not afforded the same high-quality opportunities, although there are plans in place to develop and renovate the outdoor space. ## Parent Reviews of Walton Nursery and Early Years Centre 5.0 (1) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjVG3Pt9Y8xMr5XRXzMMRAimHSRyY67ZOu2NmlojwtRJPZDGQhmh=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba2) Yvonne Lally 6 years ago Great nursery x [Read on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNVdllLNndnRRAB!2m1!1s0x487b23ce05afba03:0x878652dbb653b13b) Reviews from Google for Walton Nursery and Early Years Centre.
