Nursery supports the Derwen

At the last Nursery Parent Support Meeting Lynne, the Nursery Manager, explained how she had recently written a letter to the Derwen College to show support and raise awareness of what a wonderful place the Derwen Estate is to visit with the nursery children and how much they enjoy exploring the woodland and seeing the animals.

The parents wanted to share this with you as not all of them were aware that the children get the opportunity to have so much fun on their walks, although finding Percy Peacock and seeing the fish in the aquarium in the hospital on their shorter walks are also highlights for them too!

Information on the Derwen Estates

Derwen Estates is a ten-acre site incorporating woodland, marshland and animal care areas.
Derwen Estates supports various habitats and includes a pocket-sized wild flower meadow, small wetland area including a pond, with newts and moorhens, and a marshland area that produces teasels, bull rushes and poppy heads. In the bird hide you can watch the birds on the feeders and in their natural habitat.

There is a selection of small animals including guinea pigs, rabbits, pigs, pygmy goats and alpacas.
The Woodland Walk is open to the public – a 750-metre wheelchair accessible footpath meanders through the woodland which contains 3000 trees.
