The room is designed for indoor physical development to develop gross motor and balancing skills, we focus on activities such as meditation, stretching and yoga. The children listen to calm classical music in the Energy Room which provides a relaxing atmosphere for the children and promotes children’s mental health and wellbeing through movement and music. Mindful practices can encourage kindness in children and help them to manage their emotions. We use Henry, our empathy doll during mindfulness sessions as children relate well to him through play and exploration.

Our extensive outdoor play areas provide continuous provision of rich, nourishing learning opportunities for all children according to their ages and stages of development with a focus being on that of children’s interests. All rooms from the nursery has continuous access to the outdoor area, and covers all areas of the areas of learning providing awe and wonder for all, with a focus being upon following the children’s interests.
We have a grass area outside which predominantly enhances gross motor development using balancing beams, trikes and a large chalkboard. We promote and support the children in taking risks whilst ensuring that they are kept safe at all times whilst providing purposeful challenges to the children for example walking on the logs and using them as stepping stones supports and develops balance, coordination, focus and turn taking.
Large sunshades are used during the warm weather to protect children from sun.

Our Little acorns have an area which is under cover to protect from the elements, whilst ensuring that children have continuous access to the outdoors also. Nursery coats are provided, and the children are supported to become independent in putting on and taking off their coat. There is access to water and sand play at all times outside and there is an inviting nature kitchen which supports language development and personal social and emotional skills too.
