The Outdoor area

Henshaw nursery is very lucky to have such a vast outdoor learning space for the children here. 
The main nursery outdoor area is accessible at all times in a day for the children and is located around d the back of the nursery building. It boasts a large play space, with bark turf and grass space too. It has  a trim trail, a climbing frame and lots of lovely areas for the children to explore in. 
We also have access to a large field, allotment, forest and the primary school yard. 

the sensory garden and mud kitchen

In the main nursery space there are lots of areas for the children to learn and play. We have a water area, sand area, mark making area and maths area. The two larger parts are the mud kitchen and the sensory garden, which is currently under re-design. 

The forest  

We have been given  a very exciting opportunity this school year! The primary school have allowed us the use of their wildlife area. And so we now do at least two sessions of natural play and exploration in our small but lovely forest area. 
A staff member is  going to be forest school trained at the beginning of February 2018. To ensure we are giving the children the best experiences whilst in the forest/ wildlife area.
