They become animated as they answer questions and chat about their day at school before going to play with the many activities that staff prepare for them. Children are fascinated as they consider and investigate the properties of different materials. Staff use every opportunity to encourage children to think and work things out for themselves. Children quickly solve problems and they identify when they have added too much foam to a sand mixture, in order to get the result they want. Staff are extremely motivated and enthusiastic.
