n Staff intend to create an ethos where children feel safe, happy and valued. Staff encourage children to be imaginative and express their own ideas. Children laugh as they make decorated biscuits, colour in their favourite television characters and use fabric paints to make sock puppets. These activities help children to relax and to express their emotions after a busy day at school. n Staff plan activities to help children build their knowledge of the local and wider community.
