We organise our sessions so that children can choose from, and work at, a range of activities and, in doing so, build up their ability to select and work through a task to its completion.  The children are also helped and encouraged to take part in adult-led small and large group activities which introduce them to new experiences and help them to gain new skills, as well as helping them to learn to work with others.  Outdoor activities contribute to children’s health, their physical development and their knowledge of the world around them.  The children have the opportunity, and are encouraged, to take part in outdoor child initiated and adult led activities, as well as those provided inside the Pre-School.  We give children the choice to free flow between inside and outside throughout the session.
