The children can explore the open farm spaces by going on tractor/ trailer rides or walking through the property to engage with the animals and vegetation. There is a full-time gardener to engage with each week and a vegetable garden that needs careful watering and nurturing!

This purpose-built centre has abundant outdoor play areas with two separate age-appropriate natural play spaces.
