OUTSIDE FACILITIES
We have a large, secure play area, which has an all weather bouncy'
safety surface to minimise any bumps or grazes!

We have various resources to extend the children's spatial and physical
development including:
bikes — climbing apparatus — play house bats — balls
(and grown ups too, for those all important circle games, songs and rhymes).

Outside, we have a large, secure play area, which has an all weather bouncy' safety surface to minimise any bumps or grazes!

We have various resources to extend the children's spatial and physical
development including bikes, climbing apparatus, a play house, bats, balls
and grown ups too, for those all important circle games, songs and rhymes.

Our outside area is also used within our curricular planned activities, for
example, experimenting with the parachute, or completing an obstacle race!
We believe in the positive values of planned outside play, so from September
2007 we areintroducing a scheme which enables the children more freedom
to access the outside area during each session.

There will be a variety of supervised activities for the children to experience
and other types of equipment to explore. We will also have familiar resources
from indoors too.

It is vital that you child has a coat with a hat or a hood or sun cream and
a sun hat (all labelled!) so that they are able to access the outside area
whatever the weather! We ask for parents to apply sun-cream to their child
before they come to nursery, and we will re-apply their own cream (only),
throughout the day (please see the consent forms at the back of the
prospectus).

If the weather is being particularly unkind to us, then we will all remain indoors
and join together in one of the rooms for some singing or have a big music
and movement session. We also have a television with a video, which we
may use during these times too.

OUR GARDEN

Our garden area has recently been refurbished and we’re now the proud
owners of three new giant flowerpots! We’re waiting for our crocus bulbs
to show and hopefully our wallflower will produce some sweet- smelling
flowers within the next month or two.

Our aconites are already flowering and the grape hyacinths are growing
well. In March we’re hoping to plant our first onions. Watch this space in the
next edition for news of our summer veggies!
