At long last, after over one year of stop \u2013 start works the Fersands Nursery Garden is complete. Staff and families are delighted with the whole transformation and the new learning opportunities provided.<\/p>

The new Patio doors and Canopy Shelter provides cover so the kids can go out in all weathers. The soft surfaces make the areas safer with opportunity to dig and grow or run or cycle along the decked pathways and use their imagination at the other play spaces. \u00a0Does your family use the Nursery, do you ever walk past the service.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
