What it's like

Children are extremely happy and settle with support from their key person. They thrive in the enticing environment that engages children quickly into play. Children demonstrate high levels of confidence as they explore the garden, taking risks by climbing trees and rope ladders. They role play in the mud kitchen and enjoy the company of their peers, as well as time playing and learning on their own.
