p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Managers ensure that all staff understand their responsibility to keep children safe. All staff attend regular child protection training and know what to do if they are concerned about a child's welfare. Managers have effective procedures to deal with any concerns swiftly. Staff complete an induction process that helps them understand their roles and responsibilities. Managers monitor staff practice and provide good opportunities for staff to undertake further training to develop their professional skills. Managers accurately evaluate the quality of the holiday camp and are committed to continuous improvement. They consult with and involve staff, parents and children in the process. For example, there were requests for an increased range of art and craft activities, and managers made this a priority for improvement. Staff provide parents with a clear overview of the activities they have planned.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are well supported to be active learners. They have strong opportunities to develop their physical skills. Children enjoy the challenge of learning how to safely use the exciting range of sports equipment. For example, they enthusiastically use different- sized bats and balls to build on their hitting, catching and kicking skills. Children learn to take the lead in team games. For instance, when they take part in a small-group rounders match, they encourage others to learn how to contribute to the game. Children enjoy interesting craft activities which are organised by staff. They use a variety of tools and media, such as to create 'fantastic fishes'. They enjoy mixing thick paints to create a range of colours to suit their purposes. Staff build on children's language skills. For example, they skilfully join in with activities, introducing new words and encouraging children to listen to instructions and to ask questions.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The environment is enjoyable and exciting, and children are happy, settled and relaxed. Children communicate effectively with their friends and continually talk to each other during their learning experiences. They are willing to establish new friendships, such as with children who attend from other schools. Children are well supported to develop confidence and independence. For example, they line up to wash their hands before snack times and mealtimes, collect their lunch bags and sit at the table for lunch with their friends. Children have a good knowledge of healthy foods and understand not to share their food in case of allergies. Staff offer new children to the holiday camp a warm welcome and ensure that they know where everything is and the plans for the day. Children soon play happily with each other.
