The charity uses funds raised to benefit children's individual needs, and staff support children's learning and development well, for instance, aiding children to feel textured objects, exploring their senses. Outdoor space Children benefit from regular use of the outside area. Children squeeze water beads to develop their fine-motor skills. Staff use a slide with steps to support children with their gross-motor skills development. Children beam, as staff guide them to negotiate appropriate risk and master this new skill with increased independence.
