This provision meets requirements

Children are extremely happy during their time at the camp. They have built strong bonds with the caring and dedicated staff. Staff create a timetable around the children's individual needs and interests. They spend a great deal of time getting to know the children when they first arrive to start camp. For example, children complete 'all about me' forms, sharing information, such as their favourite colour and what job they would like to do when they are older. Children have access to a wide range of activities and experiences. They are highly motivated to explore and discover. For example, children excitedly head outside where they climb, balance and jump on the equipment. Children proudly show the inspector how they are able to skip with the skipping ropes.

The routine is incredibly well embedded and this helps children to feel secure. Children always know what comes next and what is expected of them. Children's behaviour is exceptional. As a group, they remind each other of what the 'Golden Rules' are, giving examples for each one. For instance, children suggest offering to play with someone who might be feeling lonely. Children are very kind and welcoming to the inspector. They let her know what was happening next and introduced themselves to her.
