This provision is good

n Managers strive for the best and continuously reflect on what they provide, seeking ways to improve their provision. They take account of feedback from children and parents to help them to develop their good practice even further. n Staff plan a wide range of interesting and enjoyable activities, both indoors and outdoors. There is a strong focus on physical activities, and children have daily opportunities to undertake a wide range of sporting activities, such as archery, netball and bungee run. n Children are friendly and self-assured. They make new friends easily and talk with confidence to authorised visitors at the club about the activities they have participated in. Children behave well, and thoroughly enjoy their time at the camp. n Staff are good role models. They are caring, and children form warm relationships with them.

harmoniously and share resources. Children's social skills develop well. n Staff provide a safe and secure environment for the children. They carry out robust risk assessments to identify and remove the risk of potential hazards to children. n Parents are knowledgeable about their children's experiences. They provide positive comments. They say that staff are caring and friendly, and that their children are happy. n At times, group activities are not effectively organised. This occasionally leads to children getting bored, and they do not fully benefit from the range of activities offered. n Staff do not routinely help children to develop an understanding of how healthy eating contributes to a healthy lifestyle.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff receive training on safeguarding issues and are aware of potential signs of abuse. They know what to do should they have any concerns about the welfare and safety of a child. Managers regularly complete risk assessments to ensure that the environment, resources and activities are safe for children. Managers observe staff daily and advise them on how to develop their professional skills. Staff learn a range of new skills during face-to-face and online training courses. For example, staff learn how to operate the bouncy castle and bungee run safely. Staff are competent in the activities they lead, and this benefits children. For instance, in the archery session, children develop hand-to-eye coordination as they learn how to aim an arrow at a target board. Children have a good understanding of the importance of safety, and follow rules when they engage in activities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide children with a broad range of activities and experiences. They carefully plan activities that help children to achieve their next steps in learning. Children learn to follow instructions and focus on activities. For example, children use different types of medium to make stick puppets, to use as part of their talent show. This develops children's design and creative skills. Children confidently talk about what they like to do at the camp, such as face-painting, riding go-carts and playing football. Children are encouraged to write about their experiences and any activities they would like to try out. Staff use children's interests to plan a variety of activities to support and build on their interests. Staff observe and record children's achievements so their successes can be shared with parents. This enables them to be fully aware of children's activities and provide continuity of children's learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well and make friends as they participate in group games. Staff help children to achieve good levels of independence and safety awareness. For instance, children are taught how to steer go-carts safely and confidently. Staff pay attention to children's needs and support their physical and emotional well-being. For example, they follow the strict procedures for recording children's accidents and the administration of first aid. Staff make children feel safe and valued. Children confidently express which activities they would like to do throughout the day. Children are encouraged to behave well and respect one another. For example, children work together collaboratively to build a tower of blocks. They carefully remove a block at a time and enjoy the challenges of having to prevent the blocks from crashing to the ground. Children have opportunities to improve and extend their physical skills. For instance, they practise their football skills,

balance on an obstacle course and jump on a bouncy castle. Staff regularly praise children's positive behaviour, which helps to nurture their self-esteem and become confident learners. Children are happy, relaxed and demonstrate that they enjoy their time at the camp.
