A visit to our Wallace Grange development in Dunfermline to inspire the next generation
Nursery children aged just three and four years old, were given an exciting opportunity to see the show homes, as well as some new homes that are under construction at Taylor Wimpey’s Wallace Grange development in Dunfermline as part of learning more about new homes at nursery.
Youngsters from Duloch Nursery explored the leading housebuilder’s show homes to pick up some ideas and inspiration for how they might like to furnish their new ‘home corner’ at nursery. There was also a chance to see some of the various plant machinery that helps with the construction process at the development.
The team at Taylor Wimpey enjoyed their opportunity meet the next generation of future homeowners as Robert King, Assistant Site Manager at Wallace Grange adds: “We are really proud of our Wallace Grange development, as well as the part we play in the local community here, and we enjoyed meeting the children from Duloch nursery.
“The group have been learning about new homes, and they’re creating a new home corner to play in at nursery, so this was an ideal opportunity for us to inspire them.“
Whilst the children were at the development, the team took the opportunity to remind the children never to play near a building site and that a nursery school visit was extra-special because normally there are no children allowed near any construction at the development. Never playing near a construction site is a message that Taylor Wimpey is keen to reinforce to the wider local community especially ahead of the Easter school holiday.
Deputy Head Teacher Sarah Stewart said: “Our children thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Taylor Wimpey’s Wallace Grange, and we would like to thank the team for their time in helping the children to explore the development. We’ve been learning all about new homes and the features you can find in them, while also considering what kinds of play materials to provide in our new home corner at nursery. The team at Wallace Grange has really helped to spark the children’s imagination and bring their learning to life.”
