This provision meets requirements

Children benefit from a safe and secure environment. They have plenty of space to play, both inside and outdoors. They choose freely from a wide range of suitable activities. Some children choose to sit quietly and read or participate in craft activities, while others play games with practitioners or go outside. Children's health is well promoted as they have daily opportunities for physical exercise. Children learn how to stay safe. Practitioners give children clear explanations and children know what the expectations are of their behaviour. Children develop a sense of independence and responsibility. They help to call the register at the start of the session and tidy up their toys at the end. Practitioners know children well and understand their likes and dislikes.
