Children have opportunities to become independent by having a continuous provision of resources, stored at their level, so they can access them freely. The development of their social and physical skills is encouraged through the wide range of equipment available to encourage sharing, group play and to stimulate their enquiring minds. 
 
Varied activities such as creative play with water, role play, books and stories and heuristic play, along with many activities outdoors are designed to promote the children’s well-being and development. The warm, caring atmosphere encourages each child to confidently try out new experiences.
