Stramash Outdoor Nursery Care Inspectorate Information
Stramash is a fully outdoor nursery set on a hillside with mature trees and a field area. Two cabins with electricity and wood burning stoves provide a warm and cosy place for children to spend time in, if they wish. The nursery also has lights to illuminate the nursery during the dark mornings and nights. The play areas are constantly evolving and changing but always promote imaginative play alongside physical challenges. The routine and rhythm of the day allow the children to make choices about what they want to do and helps them develop their social skills alongside their fine and gross motor skills and their cognitive abilities.
