This provision meets requirements

Children arrive happy with their parents in the morning, and they are warmly welcomed by a team of staff. Children are given name labels, which also tells them who their key person is for the day. This helps children to get to know each other and the staff, and supports them to settle in quickly when they arrive.

This provision meets requirements

Children behave well throughout the day. When noise levels in the room start to escalate, all staff use the same attention song. Children respond positively and sing the song back.

Children have a healthy balance of active time and rest periods. They have plenty of access to fresh air, which supports their well-being. Children also have opportunities to engage in quiet activities, such as listening to stories and making crowns. n Staff speak clearly and check that children have understood the instructions given to them.

12 April 2023 young children are provided with feedback cards. These inform parents of the activities their children have done that day and includes a picture their child has drawn. This gives children a voice which supports conversations at home between children and their parents. When older children achieve something, such as demonstrating good listening, or learning a new skill, staff give them certificates to recognise their achievement. This supports children with their positive behaviours and attitudes while they are at the camp. n Staff act promptly and implement effective strategies to support children's behaviour. This includes speaking calmly, maintaining eye contact, and trying to understand how they can meet children's needs. Staff give children space away from loud activities when they find it overwhelming. Staff support younger children who are new to the camp and are reluctant to join in with the activities.

They talk to children and play a game of throw and catch with a ball. This helps children to build bonds with staff and settle in at the camp. n Staff encourage children to regularly visit the bathroom and to wash their hands.

Staff undertake effective strategies to keep children safe while they are at camp. For instance, staff do regular head counts of the children as they transition around the camp, perform risk assessments and ensure that gates are kept shut when they take children to enclosed areas. Leaders and staff have good safeguarding knowledge. They recognise signs of abuse and they understand the procedures to follow if they have any concerns. Leaders act promptly when they have concerns, and this helps to keep children safe.
