Spring update
We’ve been working hard since September to grow and develop our provision and play opportunities for the children within the playground. The children are loving the wheeled play—the balance bikes are loved by children of all ages and now the Roktagon is open, it means that more children are challenging themselves to have a go and scale to great heights. The basketball hoops are also proving very popular whether that be just shooting hoops or having a small game between friends, and the fitness challenge board is another addition that children are getting involved in. Our range of small world toys has been developed with children having access to toy cars and Lego to play with. There will be dolls and road planks coming very soon.
