Support Children and Young Peoples Positive Behaviour
1.1 Describe the policies and procedures of the setting relevant to promoting children and young people’s positive behaviour
In my setting, Little Stars Nursery, we believe that both children and adults alike flourish in an ordered and structured environment with boundaries; so that everyone knows what is expected of them, and then the children are free to learn and develop without fear of being hurt or hindered by anyone else.

In order for us to achieve this we follow simple steps of all adults providing a positive role model for children with regards to friendliness, care and courtesy and to show a positive approach, we encourage sharing, kindness and good behaviour and praise children to endorse such behaviour.

A major way of children learning behaviour and attitude comes from watching their peers and adults around them, so if all staff can show a positive attitude and show kindness,
