Outdoor space

The outdoor areas offer opportunity for all children to move in a range of ways. Older children use their leg muscles to push scooters and propel wheeled toys. Toddlers climb the steps on the climbing frame and use their fine motor skills in the sandpit and mud kitchen. Babies have space to crawl and pull themselves up to practise their walking skills.

Both my children have attended Cliffe House and have loved every minute! There is so much care and attention given to the children and their development. There is a great variety of activities from messy craft, construction and a lovely outdoor play area. I would really recommend it to any parent.

My youngest son went to this nursery from a very young age right up until he went to primary school. The team there are fantastic - caring, fun, invest genuine time and love with the children and their development. Highly recommended.
