Out and About
"And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair" Kahlil Gibran
At the Rainbow Tree we really enjoy being outdoors, apart from playing in our large garden, we also often visit local parks, playgrounds, beaches, Maritime Museum, National Trust and English Heritage properties, Trebah Gardens, local play groups and the local library. Please be aware that if your child joins us at The Rainbow Tree they will become little explorers! And rainbow hunters!
Wow is that a triple rainbow over The Greenbank!
