Go outside and play

- is it enough?

Here at Church Hill in our new centre we believe wholeheartedly in the benefits of outside play.

Part of our continuing mission is to use our outside spaces in the Centre to bring the outside in and the inside out.

To get the best from their emerging understanding of the world, we can use our external spaces to chart the feel, colour and texture of the seasons, to appreciate the shapes of trees, flowers and plants and to provide additional stimulus to young imaginations.
