OPAL
We are excited to share our new Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL) scheme which we are beginning to implement. OPAL playtimes mean more fun, creativity, independence and inclusivity. We are going to be improving play over the next 18 months to enrich this valuable time of the day and we want you to be involved.
