Caring for animals
Children have regular opportunities to interact with and care for our animals. These experiences encourage responsibility, confidence, empathy and respect for living things.
Our centre and outdoor learning
1.7 acres to explore
Our farm-style isn't just the setting for our centre. It's part of the learning.
The Farmyard
Room to explore, move and investigate.
With 1.7 acres of open space, gardens, animals, trees and natural areas, children have room to explore, move, investigate and develop a genuine connection with the natural world.

Animals, gardens and nature

Getting involved in gardening
Children get involved in gardening by planting, pulling weeds, watering and caring for our outdoor spaces. We also have fruit trees that children enjoy exploring, gathering fruit from and, when appropriate, tasting.

Exploring nature
Nature provides endless opportunities for curiosity and discovery. Children can investigate bugs, plants, trees, weather and seasonal changes. Our regular bush walks extend this learning beyond the centre, giving children opportunities to explore, observe, move and discover.
Looking after our place
Sustainability and caring for our environment
Food scraps from our kitchen are part of our sustainability practices, helping children understand that food waste can have another purpose rather than simply going into the rubbish.
We provide our food scraps to a local pig farmer to reduce waste.
Outdoors every day
Learning through real experiences
Our outdoor environment gives children opportunities to develop independence, problem-solving skills, physical confidence and social skills.
They can get muddy, climb, run, build, investigate, care for animals, work alongside friends and discover what they are capable of.
Beyond the gate
More than outdoor play
Our children also enjoy experiences beyond the space.
