We have a variety of dressing-up clothes and moveable props for this purpose, we ensure that all areas of learning are embedded within their play. For example, being designated characters and re-enacting Fairy Tales, the children are developing their language and listening skills, whilst also being encouraged to converse and interact with others.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator color=&#8221;custom&#8221;
