Our garden is large, secure, and above all: great fun.

Our garden

We love to be outside at Saffron Walden Nursery School. Every room has direct, free flow access to our large garden, so our children spend a lot of their day outside - whatever the weather.

The garden has been specially designed to be an exciting place to explore, with a range of stimulating and fun spaces and activities to keep our children busy and to support their social, emotional and physical development.

We provide waterproofs for every child, so that we can be outside come rain or shine.

There is something for everyone in our garden.

Sandpit

Dig and make castles in our large, covered sandpit.

Mud kitchen

Bake mud pies or whip up a potion in the mud kitchen.

Woodland area

Explore trees, build a den, crunch through leaves or see what bugs live in our woodland area.

Space to explore

There is plenty of space in our garden to stretch those legs running and climbing, take turns to whiz down the slide or hop on a trike for a ride.

Wet and messy play

Splash about, make a mess, test theories and get the mind working in our range of outdoor activities.

Areas to gather together

We do as much as we can outside, including reading in small groups, snack time and painting.
