Inclusion & environment
Staff help families access appropriate support if there are concerns about learning and development.
Staff support children's gross-motor development by helping them to navigate beams, steps and ramps in the garden. Children develop their fine-motor skills when they keenly explore using flower heads to paint, and when they water and care for the flower garden they planted together.
