Nestled in the Warwickshire countryside is a hatchery, ducklings, and a duck room - not birds, but designated rooms for children aged six weeks to five years in converted barns at Winchcombe Farm Day Nursery. Now this private setting, near Stratford-on-Avon, has an exciting new space - an enormous treehouse.
Inquisitive ducks take the path from the main nursery building, overlooking a duck pond, to a forest area. There, suspended in five sycamore and ash trees and measuring six metres at its highest point, is the new outdoor classroom. Access is via ten wooden steps or a ramp for buggies or those with limited mobility.
