Set up places, outdoors as well as indoors, for toddlers to take naps during the day: daytime sleep can be much more refreshing and successful when provided outside.
Ensure that there are plenty of different places and ways, indoors and outdoors, that toddlers can find withdrawal, softness and calm in the moment that they need it.
Provide ample seating (such as a sofa inside or swing-seat outside) so that toddlers can snuggle with adults and other children.
Ensure that there is time for young children to complete a self-chosen task, such as putting on their own shoes.
Establish routines that enable children to look after themselves, providing ample time for this.
Create time for discussing options so that young children have choices between healthy options, such as whether they will drink water or milk.
Place water containers where children can find them easily and get a drink when they need one.
Consider providing a sturdy ladder so that toddlers can choose to climb up onto the changing and dressing table by themselves: this will encourage their involvement in care routines
