Each room has its own outdoor space, creating a stimulating environment that supports learning and prepares children for school.

We also have a dedicated sensory play room, providing a unique space and inclusive environment for exploration and play.

Whether it’s a stroll to the Wivenhoe trail to spot ducks or a trip to the shops to gather ingredients for our Make and Bake activities, we love including regular community outings in a child’s day. Each outing not only allows the children to engage with the world around them but also encourages curiosity and teamwork as they share these special experiences together.
