This includes opportunities for children to choose and prepare their own snacks, drinks, and meals, as well as access to child-level toilets and sinks to develop self-care and personal hygiene skills. Our ethos We pride ourselves on our nurturing environments, where both indoors and outdoors provide authentic opportunities for all babies and young children to play, explore and discover.
