Children enjoy opportunities to work with local artists and musicians. n Staff support children in developing their independence, confidence and self- esteem. Children are encouraged to teach each other new skills they have learned. For example, the manager provides a chess set, so children who have learned how to play at school can teach others. Children create a book of their
