Their interactions with children are inspirational and totally capture children's attention.

Mealtimes are calm, sociable occasions. Children serve themselves and find their named table mat. They demonstrate impeccable manners and the older children fully include the youngest in their conversations. Staff empower children to make choices, for example, if they want to rest or play after lunch. They are consistently responsive in their support but give children ample time to 'have a go'. Children show utmost respect for resources and learn the importance of sharing. Staff plan highly creative ways for children to learn to respect similarities and differences between themselves and others.
