This provision does not meet requirements

Children are happy and excited to attend this warm and welcoming holiday camp. They have developed close bonds with the fun, caring staff and are confident to talk to them if they need help. New children settle well and are secure at the club. Children eagerly take part in the wide range of activities each day and make choices confidently. They use a voting system to decide what group games to play together. Children of all ages show maturity, using this system to decide what games to play together.

Children's behaviour is very good. Staff are positive role models for children and have high expectations for their behaviour. They encourage children to use good manners, take turns and to be kind to each other. Children listen well to staff and follow their instructions and the rules of the holiday camp. However, the provider does not ensure that at least one member of staff with a current paediatric first-aid certificate is present at all sessions. This could compromise children's safety in the event of a medical emergency.

For instance, they give ongoing encouragement to children as they take part in team games and staff give children in their team 'high fives' to praise their efforts and achievements. Children relish the encouragement and pass this encouragement on to their friends. n The provider supports the staff team effectively.

Safeguarding

The provider and staff have a good understanding of their roles and responsibility to protect children from harm. However, the provider does not ensure that at least one member of staff with a current paediatric first-aid certificate to the required level is present at all sessions. Staff know how to recognise signs of abuse and are clear about the procedures to follow should they have any concerns about a child in their care. Staff have a good understanding of wider safeguarding issues, such as signs that a child may be at risk from exposure to extreme views. The provider has thorough recruitment procedures in place to ensure that those employed to work with children are suitable to do so.
