take a tour of our new garden!

Nicola Gibson, Manager here at Wolverton Mill, has given the garden a fantastic new makeover! We thought we’d show some of the new areas and explain how they help the children to learn through play.

fruit and vegetable patch

Children help grow fruit and vegetables for the nursery cook to use  

water butt and compost bin

To teach the children the importance of recycling their own rain water and nursery food waste.

apple trees

To show children that not all fruit and vegetables grow underground.

woodland circle of friends

Designed for children to explore creepy crawlies and understand the world of insects.

sand and mud pit with tyres

A physical and messy play area for all children's wild adventures.   

mark-making

To encourage indoor play outside.
 

tool bench

To encourage fine motor skills.
 

picnic table

A great communication tool
 

gazebo

Is used as a cosy corner and a stage for children to perform.
 

climbing frame and secret den

Used as an assault course that can magically change into a secret den.

shed

Once emptied our shed is used for imaginary play such as restaurants, home play, fire & police stations, hospital & vets.

sensory garden

Children can explore different varieties of plants to touch, taste and smell for themselves.

football pitch and scramble net
