This provision meets requirements

For instance, they know where to hang their belongings when they arrive and are keen to then select from the wide range of resources on offer to them. Children behave well in a calm, friendly atmosphere. They remind each other of the rules, such as during discussion times, and are keen to help each other. For instance, older children willingly help younger children during activities. They develop their sense of responsibility and self-esteem levels well.
