This provision meets requirements

Children benefit from positive staff role models. For instance, staff are extremely kind, well organised, and demonstrate new skills with enthusiasm. This helps children to settle quickly, to understand expectations, and feel secure. They show kindness and respect as they speak and listen to the staff and each other. For example, children help each other to open their lunch boxes, peel fruit and tidy away. Children are keen to listen to stories, play and join in games. They listen, take turns and help to make up rules for games with each other. Staff offer the children the opportunity to play quieter games and rest when needed. For instance, they play board games and colour. The younger children, who enjoy time to talk to their friends and to relax, appreciate this.

However, at times, staff do not always extend children's understanding of healthy lifestyles and the importance of drinking plenty of water and making healthy food choices. n Staff match activities to the children's interests and to the themes they are learning at school to consolidate and extend their learning even further.
