During the first half of the morning children have access to a wide range of play materials such as playdough, water, puzzles, construction sets, computer games, books, crayons, as well as traditional toys like cars, train set, dressing-up clothes, dolls and ‘home corner’. Other activities such as painting, cooking and craft work are planned into each week.

Children choose their own activities and are given as much independence as possible. They can work alone or develop their social play with adults always close by to support and extend their learning and skills. Some activities are adult-led with either small or larger groups of children.
