Leaders and staff place a great emphasis on children and families who require additional support and make provisions to extend their learning and development.

Children work incredibly well with their peers to create a large structure using crates and beams, then walk on the beams with great confidence and climb on the crates before jumping back down, building on their balance, coordination, stamina, and social interactions. ## Parent Reviews of Nurture Pre-School at Abbotsweld 5.0 (2) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocK0UyvdF1AqNli5wGTajAmIre6WJwNqGwSx9wTObDV3AF2eFQ=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Ana X a year ago 5 Stars – A Truly Wonderful Start for My Son!
