n Staff offer a wealth of opportunities for children as they play and enjoy their leisure time. For example, children plant seeds in the garden. Staff talk children through the process, sharing the names of flowers. They encourage children to use tools and have a go themselves. Staff explain how plants grow and encourage children to remember what they have learned in school. n Children are familiar with the daily routine. For example, when children arrive, they sit on mats while the register is taken. Children understand how important this is. They respond promptly when asked to sit down for snack.
