The children in this particular clip are probably sort of three and a half to four-year olds, and their skills, particularly gross motor skills in terms of riding a bike, climbing are quite sophisticated. And they don't have any difficulties in those areas. Their speech and language is very good so they can interact and communicate with each other. And they're also in that range of their cognitive development is at a stage whereby they're able to share and they can share, and they can work things out between them.

The children all played together, and their imaginary play was very good, pretending, you know, that filling up that petrol with the bike. What would worry me with a child is that she wouldn't mix with her peers. You know, she wouldn't play with them. Or you know, she'd just keep herself to herself. Or even go around with a member of staff, don't want to play with the children. She's probably not used to playing with the children. You know that something's there in the background really.

I think it was kind or a fabulous example of children playing very happily and exuberantly. They were doing what kids do, I think, at this age, very much playing alongside one another and interacting with one another a bit. Not kind of amazing social skills and interacting all the time, but playing alongside and cooperating.
