From the Castle Nursery
We are a privately operated daycare facility located on DeVere Primary School's grounds. Because of our close relations to the school, we are able to use its fields, playground, and gym on a regular basis for physical education lessons. We put a lot of focus on outside play and exploration, providing kids the room and freedom to check out a variety of tools and pursuits. The daycare centre features two outdoor play areas: one is a sizable grassy area with a playhouse, a climbing frame, and a well-liked digging and mud area; the other is a hard surfaced area with a covering to allow outdoor play in all weather conditions. A water butt with guttering and supports to permit the development of water channels provides children with constant access to water.
