The children are individually supported in developing confidence, autonomy and self-respect. They are encouraged to work and concentrate independently and also to take part in the life of the nursery, sharing and co-operating with other children and adults.

Through activities, conversations and practical examples, they learn acceptable ways to express their own feelings and to have respect for the feelings of others.

All children are given the opportunity, as appropriate, to take responsibility for themselves and also for the nursery and its property.

The development of curiosity about their own and other people's lives makes a good starting point for young children to appreciate each other.
