This provision meets requirements

Children start every session at the holiday camp with a group welcome session. They enthusiastically contribute when staff ask about the holiday camp rules, which include 'kind hands, kind feet and kind words'. Staff remind children to speak to an adult if they are worried or need help. This sets children up for the day and reminds them of the behaviour expected of them. Staff create visual timetables in the entrance to ensure parents and children can prepare for their time at holiday camp.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

All staff receive safeguarding training before they start working with children. They know what to do if they have any concerns about a child or if there are allegations made against them or a colleague. Leaders encourage staff to report all concerns. The premises are safe and secure. Staff continually reinforce safety guidelines to support children to manage their own safety. For example, children learn that in the event of the fire alarm sounding, they are not to collect any belongings. This helps support a culture that prioritises children's safety and welfare.
