For example, children are shown pictures of activities that take place during the day, which supports their emotional well-being when routines change. Outdoor space Staff have high expectations of children's physical abilities. For example, staff stand close to younger children when they attempt to crawl up a hill in the garden and support less confident children by holding their hands when walking down the hill. More confident children are excited to run down the hill on their own. EAL / language support When children first start attending, staff gather information about children's home language. This is particularly beneficial for children who speak English as an additional language. Staff provide key words in children's home language and English to help support their language development.
