This allows children of all ages to have free-flow access to the garden in a safe environment during the day. The Garden supports all seven areas of learning, so there are opportunities for the children to be physical, carry out mark-making, enhance their mathematical skills and much more through areas such as the mud kitchen, sandpit, a literacy hub, water area & open-ended resources for the children to use their imagination! We are an ‘all-weather nursery’ and provide the children with waterproof suits which means they can access outdoors whatever the weather!
