Sussex Nursery Holds a Fun Tea Party To Celebrate Opening of New Garden

Bright Horizons Tudor House Burgess Hill Day Nursery and Preschool recently welcomed its current families for a fun tea party to officially open the nursery's newly refurbished garden area.

A 12-month garden project has transformed the outdoor space at the nursery, which is located on Gloucester Road, Burgess Hill. The newly refurbished garden is now a beautiful learning and play area for children. It features a mud kitchen area with a planter and mud container, a captivating water wall feature, and a playhouse surrounded by planters. These additions provide children with opportunities to engage in exploratory play and Connecting with Nature. The nursery will undertake elements of Nature Kindergarten such as identifying different species of plants, trees, insects and learning about sustainability in a natural environment.

During the event, which was held on May 24, there were drinks and high tea served where families joined in with the celebrations. Families were given a comprehensive tour of the nursery by Manager, Rosie. They were also accompanied for proceedings by John Butler, Director of Finance at Bright Horizons UK.

John officially opened the newly refurbished garden area by cutting a ribbon.
