Staff work extremely well with outside professionals to close gaps in children's learning. Outdoor space Children describe how they 'grow, cook and eat the potatoes' they excitedly dig from the garden. Children exercise and have fun in the challenging physical activities. They use large blocks to make obstacles on which they climb and balance. Children delight in planting seeds and growing fruits and vegetables. They conscientiously care for them and harvest the produce. They proudly take their fruit and vegetables to the chef to use in healthy, nutritious meals. ## Parent Reviews of The Red House Children's Centre 5.0 (4) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocKOr-rcid-koCSWIfjWv2DzWTKTFNzVyBxJoFdRiNSDVQJ-LQ=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba2) scott Wigley 8 years ago Lovely, friendly staff and great surroundings.
