Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

Outdoor space

Children independently explore a range of materials to create their own artwork and use crates outdoors to become stepping stones and towers. Staff are quick to put children's coats and shoes on them before outdoor play, which limits children's continued development of their self-care skills.
