p.1

This provision meets requirements

Children are eager to attend and thoroughly enjoy their time at the camp. Practitioners create a warm, safe and friendly atmosphere, which helps new children to settle quickly. Practitioners use the key-person system well to support children and their parents. Children with additional needs are well supported. Since the last inspection, provision for younger children has improved. There is a strong focus on following children's interests, which supports their independence and builds confidence.

This provision meets requirements

All children have ample opportunities to create and explore their own ideas. For example, older children take great pride in sharing their designs when they make kites. Younger children show concentration and perseverance as they draw, use collage materials and create their personal works of art. Practitioners provide activities, such as learning French and Spanish, to motivate children to learn about and respect different languages and cultures.

This provision meets requirements

Children of all abilities play well together. They have secure friendships and are kind and polite to one another. Practitioners make sure that all children participate in team games and are at hand to facilitate their play. Occasionally, younger children become distracted during large-group games. Nevertheless, children's behaviour is good. They respond to praise and encouragement and have clear boundaries. This supports children's emotional well-being and self-esteem.

10 August 2021 environment and consult with children about games they would like to play. Children develop good social and communication skills as they play and engage with others. However, during some group games, younger children wait too long for their turn. This means that, occasionally, children become distracted and are not fully engaged in activities. n Practitioners effectively support children's health and well-being. They know children well and are fully aware of their health needs, including their dietary requirements. Good personal hygiene is an integral part of the children's daily routine. n Children are physically active throughout the day, which contributes to a healthy lifestyle. They enjoy a range of sports-based activities, including football, which helps to develop their fitness and coordination.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Practitioners have robust procedures in place to ensure that children's safety is well supported. They use daily risk assessments to maintain a safe and secure environment. Practitioners demonstrate a good knowledge of safeguarding, including the wider issues relating to the 'Prevent' duty legislation. They complete relevant safeguarding training courses to keep their knowledge up to date. This means that they are able to follow correct procedures and act quickly if they have a concern about a child's welfare. Recruitment procedures are secure and ensure that practitioners are suitable to work with children.
