Outdoor Pods

At Knockbreda Nursery School, the children can enjoy the six areas of the Pre-School curriculum both indoors and outdoors.  We have recently had a new delivery of outdoor learning pods and the children are making the very most of our new outdoor learning spaces!

They have been busy making mud pies in the Mud Kitchen, creating fairytale stories in the Woodland, playing in the Small World Area outside and enjoying socialising with their friends whilst eating snack in the outdoor Snack Shack!

Thank you to all the staff for working so hard to set up these inspiring outdoor learning areas!
