Staff and children spend a great deal of time outside in the fresh air. Staff provide children with a range of resources to develop their physical skills. For example, they play football and try to kick the ball the furthest. Children show high levels of confidence as they choose their own activities. Staff encourage their choices and give them praise. Some children access quieter activities, such as reading books and showing friends the content of their school book bags. They show good hand- eye coordination as they carefully balance finger puppets on their fingers. This helps to develop their fine motor skills.
