We have two lovely outdoor garden areas at the back of the nursery. One garden opens directly from the baby room. Our outdoor spaces are used daily for activities such as outdoor yoga, games and imaginative play.
At Sunbeams, we value teamwork and reflective practice. We support each other to learn, grow and develop our skills. As part of MiChild, staff wellbeing and appreciation are important to us, and we enjoy recognising and celebrating our team.
