The curriculum builds on what children know and is designed through discussions with parents and staff's observations of children. Outdoor space Children build their physical development in a range of activities. They use the large field outside to run, jump, hop and climb on equipment. In the playground, children use tricycles and cars to develop their gross motor skills. Outside, art helps children to learn how to hold paintbrushes. ## Parent Reviews of The Homestead Childcare 5.0 (3) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocJtyi50uBbohu1qkxoMxDmhNymIsUQ90tON71DZMtulkTZLKw=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) May Alana Owen 8 months ago My son has been at The Homestead Nursery for two years and has enjoyed every day spent there, he has now left to join primary school.
