Tour of Church Hill

The gate, seen from the street. One mosaic says 'Welcome to Church Hill. Another has a bee, a flower, and a butterfly.

The tall green wire gate has to be opened by someone inside the school.

The way in is past the scooter and bike rack, and the parked buggies.

This gate is opened by someone inside the nursery area. Ring the doorbell to let them know you are here.

The first thing you see when you are inside: a water play area is on the right, the main garden is off to the left, and the name tags are straight ahead.

Children grab their name tag when they arrive. They stick them on the board that belongs to their Story Group.

Just inside, children hang up their coats and bags on their peg. Their peg has their name and a picture of a creature or a thing.

On the right are four children's toilets, with doors that are red, yellow, green, and blue. On the left are the sinks.

The nursery room is set up ready to play. Nearby are blocks, Further off are the home corner and the art area.

The tray of Duplo is waiting for the children to play with it.

The horseshoe snack table has bowls and cups on it. The seats are ready to welcome the children.

A table is set for the children and dolls to play tea parties.

New red play dough with wooden rolling pins. What will the children make?

The blocks are ready for the children to build things.

The multi-coloured hexagonal jigsaw bricks are set out on a table, ready to make patchworks.

In the garden, the mud kitchen is the perfect place to cook up a mud pie.

There is a gate in the fence which cuts from left to right. The other side of the fence is the pond.

The children have built a shelter at the back of the Forest School area. The roof is tarpaulin and the wall is woven willow.

Outdoors, a very large raised tray covered in toy dinosaurs ready to wade through shaving foam.

An orange triceratops and a stegosaurus play in the foam in the foreground. In the background a tyrannosaurus, a diplodocus, another stegosaurus, and a green triceratops do the same.
