n Staff are well supported by leaders and managers. They receive a detailed induction which enables them to carry out their roles and responsibilities well. Leaders carry out regular observations of staff during supervisions. Staff attend meetings and training courses. This helps them to further improve their practice. n Children meet their own care needs as they wash their hands before eating. They put their own coats on before going outside. These opportunities help to develop children's growing independence.
