Children's physical development and well-being are well supported. Staff provide plenty of opportunities for children to exercise on a daily basis.

n Overall, children benefit from a range of well-planned and stimulating activities. Children enjoy arts and crafts activities and are confident to express their ideas. However, very occasionally, some of the activities are too complex for the younger children to master, such as writing cards to a person of their choice. n Staff create a warm and friendly atmosphere, and interact well with the children. They are sensitive to children's feelings and needs, and support them well as they settle into the camp. n Children enjoy story time, which enables them to rest during the day. Staff help bring the books to life by reading with enthusiasm. They engage children in the story by asking questions to draw them into the story further. Children show high levels of participation, enhancing their existing concentration skills further. n Children enjoy the varied indoor and outdoor activities available at the camp. For

21 December 2022 n Clear routines provide children with a good structure to their day. This keeps them occupied, and ensures their need for rest and refreshment are addressed. Children can access fresh drinking water freely and staff remind them about the importance of staying hydrated. n Children's attitude to follow the rules of the camp is successfully demonstrated. They wait patiently in line as they move from the indoor area to the outdoor play area. Staff explain to children why these rules are in place. To extend this further, staff communicate via walkie-talkies to inform other staff that it is safe to enter another area within the camp. n Managers provide a thorough induction and training programme for new and existing staff every six weeks, before the start of each camp. This helps all staff to have a consistent and secure understanding of camp policies, procedures and routines. Staff report that they feel well supported in their roles and able to seek

guidance from the managers if they need to. n Managers gather valuable information from parents, prior to their children starting. On arrival at the camp, children fill in an 'All about me' form. This helps to ensure children's individual interests and needs are met when planning activities. Staff exchange information with parents at pick up and drop off. Parents state that they are happy with the care that their children receive and that they enjoy their time at the camp. n The provider has ensured that the camp is extremely inclusive. They support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities well. Staff respond swiftly in identifying children that may need more support to settle in. Furthermore, the provider works in partnership with schools and the local authority to include children from an activity and food programme.

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

Leaders, managers, and all staff have a good understanding of their role to keep children safe. They are aware of the possible indicators that could suggest a child is at risk of harm and know the correct procedure to follow if they have any concerns. The leadership team implements robust recruitment and vetting procedures. This helps to ensure that staff are suitable to work with the children. A thorough induction process ensures that new staff are aware of their role within the camp. Leaders risk assess the premises that are accessible to children daily, before children arrive at the camp and at the end of the day.
