We have two large secure themed gardens with outdoor classrooms, one with a Forest School, where we use nature and the environment to encourage and inspire the children to grow in confidence, independence and self esteem through mastering small outdoor tasks. The other garden has a specialised baby area for outdoor sleeping (monitored by CCTV), a vegetable patch and three activity areas for free play.
Every child's progress is carefully recorded and photographed in their personal journey file, providing a complete visual and written record of their development.
All the team at Next Steps are qualified Early Years professionals. We also have specialists in every area to best meet the needs of your child, whatever their age.
