From the Knossington and Somerby Pre School
The Knossington Village Hall is a charming, historic structure with loads of personality.
We have some fantastic educational toys and equipment, a computer that the kids may use to improve their IT abilities, and other resources.
Large art attack projects are carried out in the outdoor space connected to the village hall, which has a rubber floor and a large black board and paint board.
The kids can do most things outside if they want to because they always have access to the space.
Two minutes' walk from the village hall gives us access to a nice, large park.
The park area also has our allotment garden, which is a walled space with raised beds, a garden building, a water feature, miniature fruit trees, and picnic tables.
We recently obtained financing to test a get-out-there programme because we think it's crucial to do so as often as you can.
The kids get the opportunity to travel in a minibus to a variety of neighbouring locations, including farms, wooded areas, and even Rutland Water.
We frequently travel to Learning Farm in Owston because of our unique connection with it.
The children's independence and awareness of their surroundings are developed through these outings.
