p.1

The provision is good

n Staff demonstrate a good knowledge and understanding of safeguarding procedures and all other aspects of safety to protect the children in their care. They work effectively as a team and supervise children well when out in the school grounds. n Staff plan a range of fun, exciting games and activities for the children. Children show good levels of independence and confidently explore their environment. n Staff are good role models as they are kind and show respect to everyone. As a result, children are well behaved. Staff praise children for their good behaviour, which makes them feel welcomed and valued at the camp. n The management team evaluates the quality of the provision well. The team seeks feedback from parents and children every week and tries to include children's requests as much as possible.

It is not yet outstanding because:

n Staff do not find out as much as they can about children before they start, to help them settle even more successfully. For example, parents are not formally asked about their children's home languages when they first register, and the passport parents are asked to complete, only allows for restricted information to be provided.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Staff are well supported in their roles. Before the beginning of each camp, new and returning staff all attend a comprehensive induction weekend, where they receive training on matters such as safeguarding and health and safety. As a result, safeguarding is effective. Staff have a secure knowledge of the action to take, should they have any concerns about a child's welfare. The camp director carries out mid-camp and end-of- camp staff observations and appraisals. This helps her to monitor staff's performance and ensure that staff continue to develop their skills to enhance children's enjoyment and learning at the camp. Staff carry out meaningful observations of the children's play and feed these back to parents to help keep them well informed of their child's achievements.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff place a high priority on the views of children when planning weekly activities. They use a 'stars and wishes' system where children can highlight the activity they have liked the most, and an activity they would like to see introduced. This engages the children and as a result, activities reflect their interests and they are keen to join in. Staff plan fun circle games and relay races where children learn to work as part of a team. They cheer for their team mates and shout encouragement as their friends jump, hop and skip. Staff interact with children well and use a variety of questioning techniques to support children's curiosity and develop their ideas. For example, during an art and craft activity, staff talk to the children about the colours of the finger paints they have chosen to decorate their fairies. Children proudly show off their creations and enjoy thinking up names for their fairies.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff build warm, close relationships with children and get to know their personalities and interests. They encourage children to help each other and in particular, the younger children. This teaches them to behave well, respect one another, and prepares them well for the future. Staff help children gain a good understanding of keeping themselves safe. For example, when using the electric go-karts, they explain that it is safest to pass one another on the straight sections of track. Children have good opportunities to engage in physical play as they access the outdoor area throughout each day. They are encouraged to develop healthy lifestyles, for example, as staff remind them to bring fruit for snack. Staff are vigilant in checking that the food children bring does not impact on any allergies children may have.
