For example, staff act on suggestions from health professionals to help to provide consistent support for children's development. They use sign language and visual prompts to help aid children's understanding and communication. Outdoor space Children benefit from daily access to fresh air, exercise and green space. They are taught to care for plants and creatures. For example, they grow potatoes and sunflowers in the enclosed garden. Children dig in soil and plant bulbs. They care for caterpillars until they turn into butterflies and search for insects, using magnifying glasses. Children build strength as they roll tyres up and down slopes in the nursery garden. ## Parent Reviews of The Horseshoe Day Nursery 5.0 (3) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocJIcd_xyOWb6NSn_i9--8F0peEeuWkDkNeJRB-V2LzjSgTMIw=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Bahar Mohamed a year ago [Read on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUR6MFpuTkdBEAE!2m1!1s0x487e658580ad6fef:0xfc792deaa5928369) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjUY32pNUd4k728C6NPlBvZe8q_HaaLG-OHgCIVQUP2rKTSWH_x9Mw=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba3) Paul Connor 3 years ago [Read on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURld3ZyOUdnEAE!2m1!1s0x487e658580ad6fef:0xfc792deaa5928369) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjXWLiLw6WdH9VXCk7kC5_FR5w2csqrrXSFTg95bGR_vYLU4IKVP=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Neil P 8 years ago [Read on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURROThYdnlnRRAB!2m1!1s0x487e658580ad6fef:0xfc792deaa5928369) Reviews from Google for The Horseshoe Day Nursery.
