Landscape plan for Clever Kids Kindergarten


Our outdoor environment
We have included landscape plans for our outdoor environment and welcome your suggestions concerning experiences that you would like us to offer in the outdoor environment.


The trees and plantings are already complete and we look forward to watching our garden grow.


We aim to teach children about sustainable living practices and therefore our raised community vegetable garden provides an opportunity for children to work and learn collaboratively with staff and family. If you enjoy gardening we would value your input.


A worm farm has been where operating for the past few months and children are enjoying watching their leftover food become compost. This can then be used for a community vegetable garden in spring.


Chickens are already providing us with eggs which we use for baking and the process become a cycle when they are fed our leftover bread.


A flowing water feature has been added recently and this has been a wonderful source of learning and enjoyment.


The new sandpit enclosure provides year round use with a shade sail roof for protection from the sun's harmful rays and rain.


We welcome you to come and have a look at our new modular outdoor resources which can be manipulated to provide new challenges each day. Children are able to choose what components they want to use and design the layout of the structure. For example flying fox, monkey bars, slide, rock wall, ladders, planks and many more.
