The redevelopment includes an upgrade to the flooring which allows for different uses and imaginative play.

The road supports children to develop their balance and coordination, the mud kitchen to be messy and creative, and the climbing blocks to develop their physical skills.

The access to a tap for water play will allow children to explore and learn about the natural world.

“At Tuxford Primary Academy we pride ourselves on always striving to create the best learning environment for our children to enable them to thrive, we believe a crucial part of that learning includes whole body movement and time spent outdoors,” added the headteacher.
