'Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust' Awarded to Sunny Days Children's Nursery Lyneham

Sunny Days Children’s Nursery Lyneham is delighted to have been awarded £68,000 in funding from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust’s AF3 EYP programme for 2022/23.

This money will be put towards a total garden transformation at our Lyneham nursery and preschool.

Fiona Webb, Director of Sunny Days Children’s Nursery says: “We are delighted with the funding from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust. We have started to work in partnership with Timotay Playscapes to transform the current outdoor space to create a specialised outdoor learning environment.”

Fiona continues: “The space will be designed using different zones, creating a unique, inclusive, sensory-rich, and challenging outdoor provision accessible for all learners regardless of individual need and disability. The new space will provide an all-weather solution, accessible for all learners. The objective of this project is to create a unique, inclusive, sensory-rich, and challenging outdoor provision, accessible for all learners, to be used as an extension to the school’s curriculum.”
