They learn to play with others cooperatively and to share and think of ideas. Children develop their creative thinking and social skills well. Children have good opportunities to develop their physical skills to help support the progress they make at school. For example, they happily feel and mould sand into different shapes, and develop their hand muscles well.

p.3

For instance, they help to prepare their snack and learn how to use equipment safely. Children are independent and develop good levels of self-esteem.
