The Outdoor Play Area

The outdoor play area is an all weather, impact absorbing safety surface called Playtop. The surface is extremely springy and children do not graze themselves if they fall over! The outdoor play equipment is varied ranging from bikes to obstacle courses.
As the Principal I am a trained teacher having graduated form Leeds University and have a wide variety of teaching experience, latterly teaching children with special educational needs. I also have practical personal experience with four children of my own. My staff are all very experienced and employed in the ratio of 1:3 for babies, and 1:5 for children aged 2-5 years.
