Since the children in Unit 3 at Small World Day Nursery in Staindrop, County Durham, transformed their staircase into a colourful jungle, going downstairs to visit their outdoor area has become an exciting experience.
Staff encouraged children to express their creative ideas on a larger scale in order to fill the walls and ceilings with artwork arising from a favourite book.
