What is it like to attend this early years setting?

Children concentrate intently at this activity and they engage in conversations with their peers and staff about what they are doing and their choices of colours.

To further develop children's communication and language skills and their listening and attention, staff encourage children to join in a game where they have to whisper a word or phrase to the child next to them and so forth, to then compare to the original one.
