Outdoor space
Staff take children to the local playground to promote their physical skills. Children enjoy balancing with beanbags and running freely outdoors. Since the last inspection, the provider and staff have made several positive changes to the outdoor space. For instance, they have introduced gardening to keep the children active in the natural environment.

I used to leave my daughter from her 2 to 3 years old and love this school. Friendly and kind teachers, healthy snacks and good cares for children, and good education experience that withdraws children's interest in various themes were given.
