The manager encourages staff to learn from each other and they evaluate practice frequently. Systems for staff development work highly effectively and they undertake a wealth of training to further their knowledge and skills.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Children flourish in this exceptional pre-school. Staff recognise the uniqueness of each child and support their learning and development extremely well. They complete regular observations of the children in their play and identify their next steps in learning accurately. Systems for tracking children's progress and development are meticulous. Children's communication and language skills quickly develop. Staff seize every opportunity to further their speaking and understanding. They join in children's role play and provide interesting practical activities. Children are enthused as they play with real vegetables in the role-play kitchen. Great excitement is had as they chop, cut and scrape onions, carrots, sprouts and swede to create an interesting soup. Children become engrossed and deeply involved in many creative activities in the well-resourced art gallery. They use recycled materials to design tractors seen on a recent visit to the farm.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children's behaviour is exemplary. They have a very good understanding of what is expected of them. Staff use an electronic programme to reward children for their positive behaviour. Children's self-esteem and self-awareness is high. Their social and emotional well-being is incredibly well promoted. Children enjoy a variety of extremely nutritious and healthy snacks. They actively prepare fresh fruit snacks, serve themselves and get their own drinks throughout the day. Children learn to use tools, such as scissors and cutlery, with good control to keep themselves safe. There are excellent routines for hygiene, which children quickly learn. All children learn about the multicultural nature of their community and how their friends engage in various celebrations, enjoy a range of different foods and wear special clothes.

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make excellent progress, including those children who speak English as an additional language. Consequently, the achievement gap is narrowed and all children are helped to reach their full potential as they move on to school.
