Sessions are organised so that the children choose from, and work at, a range of activities and in doing so, build up their ability to select and work through a task to completion. The children are also helped and encouraged to take part in adult-led small and large group activities which introduce them to new experiences and help them to gain new skills, as well as encouraging them to learn to work with others.
Outdoor activities contribute to children’s health, their physical development and their understanding of the world around them. The children have the opportunity, and are encouraged to take part in outdoor, child-chosen and adult-led activities, as well as those provided in the indoor playroom.
The trustees consider that these activities provide a public benefit to children below statutory school age in the village and surrounding area by offering them a safe environment in which they can learn and develop.
