Those children who require additional support are quickly identified by staff and targets are put in place to meet their individual needs. Outdoor space In the garden, children are excited to mix together water and flavoured teabags. Children learn new physical skills outdoors; when they put a hoop around their bodies, staff show them how to make it spin and children follow instructions to try and spin the hoop around themselves. Children play with their peers who are the same age, indoors and outdoors, to help reduce the amount of people they come into contact with.
