The OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) approach to play and lunchtimes at Hill Farm creates a rich play environment that utilises a diverse array of open-ended, curiosity focused, equipment, resources, and outdoor spaces. This innovative programme emphasises the significant role of play in children’s learning.


We are dedicated to ensuring that every child benefits from quality play opportunities as we believe that play is fundamental to their physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and intellectual growth. Our outdoor play experiences allow children to unleash their creativity and imagination, fostering lasting memories of exploration and fun. By embracing both natural and man-made resources, OPAL empowers our children to thrive in a stimulating playtime environment.
