n Staff plan activities each week based on children's interests and learning. For example, when children visit a zoo, staff provide resources to help them extend their learning in the setting, such as furnishing a vet's corner. Staff have introduced a compliments box and children are learning about friendships. Children take time to write and post a compliment to another child. At the end of the week, all children receive their compliments and this helps to boost their self-esteem and confidence. n Children enjoy a range of indoor activities, which are accessible to all, and children have a wide choice each day. They have access to a large playground and a large storage shed, where they can independently choose resources they would like to play with. n Staff promote children's mathematical development throughout the activities they provide. For example, during snack time, staff encourage children to count
