The manager and her staff ensure that any additional funding is spent effectively to address gaps in children's learning and have a positive impact on children's development. For example, they implement targeted support, access additional sessions and purchase further resources. Staff work closely with other agencies to ensure that children receive specialist support when needed. Outdoor space All children enjoy access to the large outside area throughout the day. They have plenty of opportunities to practise their physical skills. For example, following an interest in traditional tales, children use large building blocks to build 'ice-cream castles'. In addition, they learn to balance on the large wooden climbing frame and navigate the wooden steps. Children develop their early writing skills, making marks on the outside easel with paintbrushes.
