They find out how to greet people in the country's language, look at foods that are popular and find out about famous sports people who live there. n Staff support children through activities.

Children remain safe because staff take effective action to identify possible risks, both inside and outdoors, and minimise them. Security measures ensure that children cannot leave the setting unsupervised and they are not released into the care of unknown adults. Staff understand their role in protecting children from abuse and neglect. They have a good knowledge and understanding of child protection issues and know who to contact if they are concerned about a child in their care. They regularly access training to keep their knowledge up to date. Recruitment procedures are secure. This includes completing required checks to ensure staff are suitable to work with children.
