Outdoor space

Children have the freedom to explore their indoor and outdoor environments, with access to a large outdoor space that offers various opportunities to develop physical skills. They run, climb, and ride bikes, encouraging daily exercise and a healthy lifestyle. Pre-school children enthusiastically make bridges to balance on in the garden, working as a team and discussing different ways to get across, while staff encourage counting and using mathematical language.

Our daughter joined this nursery at just 9 months old, and over the course of the year she was there, we couldn't have asked for a better start to her early years. The team's communication was excellent throughout — we always felt informed and involved in her progress. What stood out most was the genuine focus on her individual growth and development, and the special bond she formed with her key worker. It was clear she was truly known and cared for as an individual. We're so grateful for the warmth and dedication shown by everyone there.
