Staff know the children extremely well and have a strong knowledge and understanding of their interests. They use this information to prepare and plan fun and engaging activities for the children. For example, younger children use their imaginations and love to dress up in a variety of clothes for role play. Older children wrap wool around metal hoops and add feathers to make dream catchers. Children concentrate on their chosen activities well and are proud to show their creations to visitors and staff.
