Nursery foundation coordinator Catherine Batt said: "We are confident the improvements in the outdoor area will make a significant contribution to the excellent progress that our children make - particularly in their personal, social and emotional development, as well as their physical abilities and communication skills - and that we will continue to see an improvement in outcomes.

"It has been really nice to see the whole school getting behind this project."
