They continue to develop good skills, such as writing to support their future learning. Children are praised for their achievements, which motivates them to persevere and try harder. Children play cooperatively and learn to take turns while playing with board games and computers. Older children help younger children to understand the rules as they play.

They know about good hygiene practices, such as regular handwashing. Children are self-assured and help themselves to the snack and drinks that are on offer. Children's confidence and self-esteem are promoted through the praise and encouragement they receive. Staff encourage children to be respectful of others and to recognise their own unique qualities. Children are aware of the behavioural expectations and their behaviour is good. They learn to develop an awareness of health and safety through the daily routines, discussions and activities.
