Outdoor space

We are currently in the process of making some improvements to our setting, inside and out, so we have created a gallery area so that we can share some photos throughout the process.

Nursery Garden.

In 2020, we created a new mud kitchen area, new planting area, construction, and designated baby area, which is separated off allowing the littler ones more freedom to be little!

It's still very much a work in progress, with lots more enticing and inviting areas to be defined and added to, including areas to grow our own vegetables, water play, music, reading, mark-making, maths and literacy areas.

Everything we have done so far has been re-using materials we already had - recycling and up-cycling whatever we can. Everything can be given a new lease of life!

Take a look at the progress so far below...

Did you know...? As part of our commitment to teaching our children about nature, the environment, and promoting healthier food choices, we planted some fruit trees in our nursery garden which were given to us by The Tree Council as part of their 'Orchards for Schools' Campaign - to enable us to grow our very own fruit-bearing, wildlife-enhancing, carbon-storing miniature 'orchard'. We also received a small grant from Food for Life, Soil Association, which we invested in buying a small greenhouse for our growing area, to start growing some of our own vegetables. We also have a compost bin where we put all of our food waste to turn in to lovely rich compost for our planting.
