At Little Acorns, we were concerned that we did not have a designated area where under-twos could move freely and explore age-appropriate resources away from the hurly-burly of the busy nursery.

To achieve this, we created a raised area with decking and organised easy access to resources and free-flow access from our main room and sensory room. With staff stationed in each of the three areas, we were well on the way to achieving our aim - that of a stimulating child-friendly learning environment.
