The headteacher of St Fagan’s School in Cardiff, Alison Price, has recently opened their new nursery by The Learning Escape.
“We have a very small school site but it is very green. We wanted a new nursery building that would fit with the school and our natural surroundings. The Learning Escape quote was the best value for money, particularly as it was a ‘turn key’ project – everything was included, this was particularly useful for the planning and project-management.
“The nursery children now have better access to their outdoor classroom area. We have seen a big improvement in their behaviour and they are much calmer, something that we think may be due to the natural light.
“We use the veranda for sand and water play, making a lot less mess, and the whole school has access to the cooking facilities inside. The new classroom has created a natural stage for outdoor school events and the aesthetics of the area is much improved.
“Eventually, when the old nursery room is refurbished, we will have created another new learning space for children with SEN, group work and parent education.”
