n Staff use their understanding of children's likes and fascinations in their planning for resources and play areas. Children delight in creating a group collage. For example, they cut out pictures they have made of their favourite characters developing their fine motor skills. Older children help younger children to work together to make a 'piranha plant' from card and paper. Children write their names on their creations and celebrate their achievements. This helps children to build a sense of pride and strong self-esteem. n Staff successfully help children to lead a healthy lifestyle. Children choose from a range of healthy options from their lunch boxes.

Children run around happily and demonstrate they feel safe and secure in the physical environment. n Children are familiar with routines. They follow instructions from the staff and line up, ready to go out into the playground. However, at times, staff have not prepared for these transitions effectively and some children wait for longer than necessary. This does not support children to stay focused and behave consistently well. n Staff support children to understand healthy lifestyle habits. Children wash their hands when they have been outside and before snack. Older children remind others to do the same. They have access to a large outdoor play area where they can play ball games such as football and tennis. This helps children learn the significance of being healthy and active.
