Children eagerly engage in the activities that staff plan and prepare. Staff know children well and plan activities based on their interests. Children enjoy preparing food for themselves. Staff help them to slice fruit for their dessert as they know how this engages children's attention and maintains their interest. Children recognise a circle as they slice banana and cut strawberries for their dessert. They count the pieces of fruit with staff, who also include words for size and shape as children take turns to mix the fruit together. Children enjoy having a taste with some pieces of fruit not making it into the bowl.
