Our Playground & Outdoor Fun

Welcome to our outdoor wonderland designed for endless discovery. Moving beyond the traditional playground, we have created dedicated zones that spark immediate imagination. Children can navigate our classic jungle gyms or dive into a massive sandpit. Our driveway area is specifically designed for early traffic play and physical development. From our hands-on construction pit and pretend kiddies' café, complete with mud kitchens, to a cosy Wendy house and walk-in bunny enclosure, every corner offers a new tactile adventure.

Apart from jungle gyms, swings, slides and climbing apparatus, which play such an important role in gross motor development, we involve the children in other activities involving balls, hoops, bean bags and other apparatus.

Learning at Featherfoot Friends happens everywhere, the outdoor area is an extension of our classroom. Art easels, books and blocks are often moved into the playground with fresh air and sunshine forming part of our daily schedule.

Nature is our co-teacher with bugs and plants often helping to guide some daily lessons. It is important that we instil a love of nature and animals in our children. The children are involved in caring for, feeding and loving our animals at school. In spring we plant beans and “grass people” which the children need to care for and maintain. During autumn we learn how to rake and collect leaves.
