Back to the Garden Childcare will offer 120 registered places and provide a child-led, active learning environment with an emphasis on outdoor play.
The nursery’s outdoor space features sand and water play areas, play equipment, a herb and planting patch, and a tepee, which will be used for storytelling, circle time and mindfulness, meditation and yoga sessions.
