Diverse Books and Toys: Children enter happily and enjoy seeking their friends to socialise. They benefit from a wide variety of resources and activities.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children are encouraged to use manners and reminded that their actions may have consequences. For example, they understand simple rules, such as to walk in small spaces and to take care of toys so that they do not break.
Activities: Children curiously approach an opportunity to build a house for the three little pigs. They add paint to shaving foam and use the 'cement' to bond the bricks.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Children behave well. They refer to the book as they play, naming characters and ordering the events of the story.
Communication: Parents are happy with the communication received about their child's care. They comment that staff take extra effort to learn about their children as individuals.
