Children have time to be active, which contributes well to their health. However, in the pre-school outdoor play area, activities do not always meet all children's interests, particularly those who are more reluctant to spend time outdoors. ## Parent Reviews of YMCA Redland Nursery 4.0 (4) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocKXpXsrkCdlZDrpWysF4V7yIjO3RT1Wq5MMTgIpO2YaT5dOxA=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Rob Pocock 2 years ago Excellent nursery!!!
