Excellent partnership with parents and other professionals ensure children are fully supported. Children’s welfare is expertly promoted through stringent practices.

This allows children to learn in a natural environment. The adults are the facilitators and observers rather than the leaders. The children are given the opportunity to explore and connect with nature using all of their senses. We have a dedicated site at Haigh Hall where every Monday we take a group of children. The children say about Forest School, “ we like climbing under the trees” “we like to play near the broken tree”.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Holiday Club and Before and After school at Playdays</h1> <p>admin — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 13:14:01 +0000</p> <p>From July 2010 Playdays now offers Holiday Club for children between the ages of 3-11 years.
