DEVELOPMENT OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE

We have developed the Wonder Woods area over the
year, adding a library gazebo with a sheltered reading
space and more fruit bushes and trees to our bug hotel
area to develop the ecosystem. We have upgraded our
lighting system and invested in light hats to make the
woods a safer environment for the children. Our
handwashing area was upgraded to protect the ground
and make it less slippery. We were also able to build a
path from the car park to make entry and exit to the site
easier and safer for everyone.
