Access to a community farm enables children to learn how to care for a range of animals. For example, children excitedly take turns in bottle feeding a lamb. Ofsted (2017)

Children have access to a stimulating range of activities that captures their interest and enthusiasm to learn. Ofsted (2017)

Based at The Play House in Hall Farm Road, Melton, in our purpose built building which allows free-flow play straight to our large garden, Pitstop pets, mud kitchen and our nature and growing areas.

FREE Forest School sessions at the Deben Community Farm.  Explore the great outdoors, meet and feed the animals and get back to nature!

All areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage are underpinned by play. Cooking, craft, discover, creativity and imagination lead the way to the child being the very centre of the way we work.
