Children benefit greatly from opportunities to socialise as part of a larger group and with children of different ages. Children enjoy lots of outdoor play opportunities in the extremely well-resourced garden. The childminder proudly displays children's work, which helps to celebrate their achievements. Children are learning to look after themselves very well and understand about following healthy lifestyles. Children are exceptionally well supported to develop aspects of their personal care. For example, when coming in from the outdoor environment, children sit on the steps and take off their shoes and coats competently.
