Children listen and communicate with each other effectively during group discussions. Their good health is promoted because, for example, staff encourage children to wash their hands regularly and provide them with a selection of healthy meals and snacks. Children have daily opportunities for fresh air and exercise. They develop their coordination skills as they join in with a wide range of ball
