Early Years and Nursery
-
We take a holistic approach to active learning outdoors, and through play encourage children to learn about the natural environment. We believe that visiting the Garden can help children's learning in many areas of the curriculum, including sciences, health and wellbeing, literacy and numeracy and can encourage good observation skills.
