p.1

This provision is good

 Staff build good relationships with children and pay attention to their individual needs. This helps children to settle quickly in the camp and make new friends easily.  Children develop greater awareness of risks and how to manage these. For example, they know that they must leave the building once the fire alarm goes off and should not share food as some children may be allergic to certain ingredients.  Staff place strong emphasis on children's safety. They follow effective safety procedures and rigorous risk assessments to help eliminate any potential hazards or threats to children's safety.  Staff build positive relationships with parents and provide them with relevant information, such as camp activities and incidents, to help meet children's needs.  Children benefit from well-planned and enjoyable activities that help to support their learning and development.

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Systems in place to monitor staff practice are not sufficiently robust to identify gaps in all staff knowledge and skills.  There are few opportunities for children to learn about similarities and differences to deepen further their understanding of diversity.

Inspection activities

 The inspector looked at documentation, including staff suitability and paediatric first-aid qualifications.  The inspector spoke to children and members of staff at suitable times throughout the day and held meetings with the holiday camp manager.  The inspector observed the quality of staff interactions during activities indoors and assessed the impact this has on children's developing skills.  The inspector observed all areas of the premises used for children.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The staff team evaluates its practice well and obtains the views of parents and children, to help identify areas to improve. For example, a recent survey highlighted the need for staff to provide more balanced and varied activities for the children. The team has taken this on board and now includes trips to cinemas and other holiday camp sites to help children have different learning experiences. Staff report that children enjoy taking part in these trips. Safeguarding is effective. Staff are sufficiently alert to the signs and symptoms that would cause them concern and the procedures they must follow to protect children's welfare. Overall, they are aware of their duty to prevent and protect children from exposure to situations that may put them at significant risk of harm. The provider follows robust vetting procedures to ensure that staff working with children are suitable.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a welcoming, relaxed environment where children are free to choose from suitable resources. They regularly observe children's play and provide activities to extend on their interest. For example, staff know that children enjoy arts and crafts and construction activities, and make these available daily. Staff interact positively with children and provide opportunities to extend learning. For example, during an indoor physical challenge activity, staff encouraged team members to count the number of runs and star jumps each member did. Children were encouraged to record their scores in their individual booklet to further build on their writing and mathematical skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff ensure that children are fully aware of the routines and know what behaviour is acceptable and what is not. For example, staff use daily 'camp agreement time' to go over the play rules and how to keep safe in the camp. This helps children to learn what is expected of them and behave well. Staff spend a considerable amount of time with younger children who are new to the setting, so that they get to know their personal needs, personalities and interests. They provide regular outdoor play, such as football and riding, to help support children's physical well-being. Independence and self-care skills are fostered effectively. For example, children are encouraged to put their bags and coats in designated areas and wash their hands before eating.
