They made sure children's care needs were met continually, and the care of older children did not impact on the care of early years children. The provider demonstrated how they safely managed outings and transitions. They explained how they organise meal times so to ensure children's safety and to promote their health and hygiene. The provider showed how they had updated their knowledge of the EYFS requirements, and explained how they would keep up to date with changes to legislation.
