This provision meets requirements

Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour. They are good role models. Staff use positive behaviour strategies to help children to understand and follow rules and boundaries. For example, they gently remind children to be careful when playing near models their peers have made. When a model falls over, children work together to rebuild it. This helps children to learn to consider other people's feelings and respond appropriately.
