Foundation and Early Years
More and more Foundation Stage and Early Years groups are coming to Croxteth.
The experience of a 'trip out' to an exciting place is in itself valuable; visit the Hall - a huge house to explore, or the Home Farm - especially with animals to be seen at close quarters. Why not experience the colours, shapes, scents and textures in the Walled Garden and of course the Country Park offers a vast range of experiences, from open space to let off steam to experiencing all the fascinating changes through the seasons.
Our tailor made Storytelling sessions, or simply having fun playing in the park or on the playground, make Croxteth a great place for the youngsters.
