Effectiveness of leadership and management is outstanding

The manager is a highly experienced leader and an exceptional role model to staff. She leads the team extremely well and provides it with excellent support to maintain a high- quality service. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders actively promote a culture of vigilance where children's welfare is central to all they do. For example, a rigorous training programme and robustly implemented policies and procedures ensure staff are alert and respond to any safeguarding concerns without delay. All staff show an exceptional understanding of the action to take if they note a concern about a child or with the behaviour of another adult. Staff are extremely vigilant in their supervision of children and comprehensively risk assess the activities on offer to ensure children's ongoing safety. Highly effective induction and regular supervision procedures result in a dynamic staff team that works cohesively to very successfully meet the needs of the families who

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

The camp is a hive of activity where staff join in children's play with great enthusiasm. Extremely effective planning ensures all activities precisely match the needs and interests of the children who attend the camp. Staff show high levels of enthusiasm and are skilled in enriching children's chosen activities with opportunities to develop children's inquisitive minds. For example, children become fascinated by a character in a favourite story. They eagerly rise to staff's challenge to create a home for him to live in. Children benefit from innovative critical-thinking activities and collaborate with their peers to build a home for the hero in the story. Staff expertly help children test out their theories and use an excellent range of questioning techniques to support children to think and solve their own problems. They observe perceptively and adjust activities expertly to continually extend children's learning as they play. Children become

captivated by the task at hand and persist in mastering new skills, such as testing a series of pulleys and ropes to create a trap to catch the 'evil crow'.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children's well-being is at the heart of the club. Staff pay excellent attention to ensuring each child's individual needs are known and met to a high level to make each child's time at the camp a highly positive experience. For example, on a child's first day, they benefit from a buddy who is a similar age, to help them settle and feel welcome. Children quickly form extremely close relationships with staff and strong friendships across all age groups. They listen carefully to each other and take care of each other. For example, older children enthusiastically include younger children in their games and sensitively adapt the rules so they can take part. Children have a wealth of exciting opportunities to learn about healthy lifestyles, including participation in healthy eating challenges and tutoring by specialist sports coaches. Children become increasingly aware and respectful of similarities and differences between themselves and others through a wide range of

topic work. They develop an exceptional understanding of how to keep themselves safe and how to manage risks. Staff expertly foster children's independence and confidence. Children speak highly of their camp but state they would like more opportunities to share their views about how the camp is run and to be included in decision making more.
