Each of the nursery playrooms open out to a well resourced, full enclosed nursery garden area.

We operate a ‘free flow, open door’ system in all weathers so that children are able to play outside whenever they choose. The children are encouraged to become independent in putting on or taking off their outdoor jackets, trousers and wellingtons. Please provide these for your child as we are unable to provide these due to Covid 19 restrictions.

We have a wide range of quality outdoor play resources and equipment in the outdoor area as well as seating to allow children the choice of having their snack outside or inside. We have currently separated our garden area into room settings allowing the children to access their garden area safely in their own room cohorts.

We believe that the outdoor space is ‘half of the whole’ nursery learning environment and as such you will see staff observing the children at play, noting significant learning and skilfully planning how  interests shown can be taken forward or providing new challenges for our children.
