Photographic progress of the TinyTots project

We have added a few pictures to show how the TinyTots project developed over a 3 week period. The weather remained dry in the beginning, but the usual Cornish rain started in earnest at the back-end of the construction work. 

Days 1 and 2 groundworks at TinyTots Nursery

Day One of the Build....

Work has now started on the TinyTots site at Trethorne Leisure farm near Launceston. The fence posts are going in and you can see the top soil being scraped back ready to be used later in the build. We will post a regular update on the progress of this project along with other work that we are doing over the next few weeks.

Day 2 - After a morning of rain, work started again on the top soil removal. The large stones were carefully placed into their final resting positions ready for the play deck to be built around them. The paths and play spaces are now marked out, ready for some serious reconstruction. The landscape has been designed so that the whole garden can be seen through to the rear - nearly 35 meters away.

Planning day for children

The design team has increased in size considerably for the TinyTots Nursery Project. A group of young children are going to help in the planning and design of the insect hotel in the next few weeks. They will be helping to make decisions about where to put it, what it will look like and the materials it will be constructed out of. We feel that this is an important part of the design process - that young people who are of the age to use the outdoor space, help to make decisions about how it will be used. We plan to involve the young people again with the creation of the wildlife and log area and the positioning of some of the large rocks. More on this later.
