Indoor/Outdoor Environment
Turney Road nursery is the smallest building in the Nellys group, situated in a beautiful detached Victorian house packed with original features making it feel homely and cosy throughout. The rooms are decorated in a soft and neutral colour scheme which is complimented by the wooden furniture and resources that we have chosen.
We choose our resources and equipment carefully so that they offer something important, special, developmental or joyful to the children. Examples of this are evident throughout the nursery including our use of Dream Coracles. We find that our younger children sleep really well in these fabulous beds, they can be stacked when not in use so that we have a little more play space to use and they give children a little more independence at rest times.
Although compact, the outdoor space at our nursery in Dulwich has been expertly designed to make the most of the space; providing many unique features including a wonderful water pump, large sandpit, and climbing area creating a haven in which children are encouraged to explore and learn.
Our purpose-built sand pit and water pump allows children the opportunity to explore sand and water on an amazing level. The space is big enough for children to become really involved and engaged in play by being physically in the sand area and they delight in pumping the water and seeing the changes that this makes to how they use the sand.
