The pre-school routine is based on free flow sessions where the children can choose to extend their play both in and outdoors, whatever the weather!

Outdoor play offers children the opportunity to explore, use their senses and be physically active and exuberant and also to appreciate wildlife and the natural environment.

Our outdoor provision provides lots of rich and stimulating opportunities for children to develop and learn. That's why we've invested in lots of new outdoor equipment and a new outdoor space which includes an all-weather surface for all year round play.

We've launched a Green Frog Club too. This nature club aims to introduce every child to simple aspects of nature and the environment through fun, interesting and challenging mini projects. For example, as part of the planned activities we have created a sensory garden, made and observed a bug garden and learned about recycling.

All children are members of the club and help to think of ideas and plan our mini projects, as well as having hands-on fun and experiences, learning through topics such as seasons, life cycles and mini beasts.

We ask parents and carers to not only send their children in appropriate clothing and shoes for in and outdoor play, but also to add any ideas, resources, enthusiasm and helping hands to our Green Frog activities.
