In their report, inspectors noted: "This exciting outdoor setting gives children an abundance of hands-on opportunities to freely explore and investigate by themselves, with staff or friends. Children play with curiosity and excitement. For example, they roll, flatten and squash playdough with sand and coffee mixed in."
