For example, staff can sometimes direct children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, to another activity, rather than enabling them to follow their own ideas. Outdoor space Children relish playing outdoors and get plenty of fresh air and exercise. Staff provide children with opportunities to explore their physical capabilities. They organise the environment to enable babies to develop their core muscles as they pull to stand on low-level furniture to join in with activities. Older children have opportunities to build the strength in their hands and fingers in preparation for early writing. ## Parent Reviews of Happy Days Nursery and Preschool 5.0 (1) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocIAc1FuMZfIYK7CbEaLRcyQS9Q-Y_v8zcAn9KXHMqaoIKrRQg=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Swetha Gunturu a year ago [Read on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURueU16WVlnEAE!2m1!1s0x48719b5e708faa85:0x3dbe6d3d6ac31cb2) Reviews from Google for Happy Days Nursery and Preschool.
