Staff quickly work to identify what children's needs are and make adaptations in the environment. Outdoor space Staff plan a range of activities outside, with regular visits to their allotment and forest school, as well as daily use of the pre-school garden. Staff recognise the importance of these rich learning opportunities and identify, for example, how not all children have access to an outside area at home. ## Parent Reviews of Hanborough Pre-School 5.0 (1) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjUtt4YbToQ8L0rX2WPbnQ4ISe1p0Wge6CmlkzbYY6nv-6bXR8ym=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Victoria Clifford a year ago [Read on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURJNXI2Unh3RRAB!2m1!1s0x4876cfb57d0c536f:0xac2eb4fa0a00f217) Reviews from Google for Hanborough Pre-School.
