are fun, safe and stimulating.<br />

Different spaces are used to allow for:<br />

‘Remida’ (creative space) area<br />

Children are encouraged to use a wide range of natural and recycled<br />

materials to support their exploration and investigation. The materials<br />

are used to encourage children to use their imagination to spark their<br />

own ideas and creation.<br />

• Indoor and outdoor play and learning<br />

• Communication and interaction in smaller spaces<br />

to build confidence<br />

• Self-service healthy snack and meal times<br />

• Meet and greet areas with opportunities for parents<br />

and carers to speak with practitioners<br />

• Adult-focused and child-initiated activity areas<br />

• Pets corner to promote personal, social and<br />

emotional development<br />

• Outdoor areas are designed to inspire children and feed<br />

their imaginations by having access to mud kitchens and<br />

planting and growing areas that promote the natural world<br />

Promoting positive<br />

behaviour<br />

Children need to learn how to engage with the big wide world. Our approach<br />

is to praise positive behaviour and to show children how they are valued as<br />

individuals. This enhances self-esteem and confidence, making it easier for<br />

your child to make friends and to treat others with kindness and respect.<br />
