This provision meets requirements

Staff are beginning to know children well and are attentive to their individual needs. For example, they give younger children the support and encouragement which they need to join in with games.

n Children and staff interact well together. Children engage in activities and staff support their art and craft ideas. For example, staff find out what children want to create and ensure that materials are available for children. Children talk to staff and their friends about their artwork. They receive praise for their efforts from staff and children alike. n Overall, staff are deployed effectively to ensure that all children's needs are met. For example, when children move about the camp to go to different activities, there are plenty of staff on duty to ensure that children move around the camp safely. For example, there are many staff on duty to gently guide the youngest children from an activity indoors, to the outdoor areas for them to take part in a natural activity. However, on occasions, staff deployment could be further improved with more staff on duty, particularly at lunchtimes. For example, many
