Learning in the fresh air
Our Garden
Our spacious garden gives children room to move, imagine, investigate and enjoy the outdoors throughout the year. Every area supports purposeful play while letting children follow their own curiosity.
Learning in the fresh air
Space to explore
Outdoor play is an important part of every child’s day at 1st Friends. Our garden offers varied spaces where children can climb, balance, run and build confidence at their own pace.
The covered areas mean children can continue learning outside in changing weather, with opportunities for both energetic play and quieter activities.
- All-weather outdoor access
- Active and imaginative play
- Room for group activities
- Spaces for quiet discovery
