She talks confidently about the progress that children make and understands what they need to learn next. This effective partnership working means that children receive the support they need to succeed. Outdoor space The children very much enjoy playing outside. Older children balance along planks of wood and coloured bricks. All children enjoy making sandcastles as they play in the sand. Babies enjoy rolling balls down chutes and pushing themselves along on the balance bicycles. ## Parent Reviews of Total Tots 5.0 (1) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocLgul9RYR2hLSCa_ZdKUkV2mEMEJSCQcxFIYDCoKomSsrrnTg=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba3) Babs Walker a year ago This is a first class nursery.
