Enabling environments outdoors: It's magic

The evolution of a magical garden shared with the community is described by Mary Weston, programme manager at Little London Children's Centre in Leeds.

We believe that every child deserves a good childhood and that childhood should be a time to play and learn, a time to be healthy and active. Being able to play outside and learn about the natural environment is so important in the early years.

Our children's centre provides a range of services to meet the needs of young children and their families, including flexible childcare for pre-school children and advice and support services for parents. As many of the children who visit the centre live in flats, we were very excited about the prospect of developing a special outdoor play area for them.
