The provider has created multiple opportunities for children to enhance their physical development in the outdoor environment. Children enjoy participating in basketball competitions, football, skipping, bowling, riding scooters and engaging in messy play outside. Parents are pleased with the provision. A parent told the inspector, 'The staff always amaze me. They always have lots of exciting, fun activities out, inside and outside. The activities outside have helped my child develop her physical development skills. She is so confident and tells me that all the children and older children are friendly and they and the staff take good care of her. The older children are very nurturing, and I value that my child can mix socially with children of all ages. I love the spacious indoor and outdoor environment'.
