They review all aspects of practice, alongside staff, parents and children to help develop their provision. Staff know children well. They plan activities and experiences that complement and extend the learning that happens in school very effectively.

Some aspects of practice are outstanding. Qualified staff share their expertise with those who have less... experience and support them in their studies towards recognised qualifications. Children describe themselves as, 'Buddies not bullies'.

They show a remarkable understanding of the differences between themselves and others. They are exceptionally respectful and show great empathy and consideration for each other. For example, older children reassure younger ones and invite them to join in their play.
