This provision meets requirements

Children have lots of opportunities to build on their physical development. Young children play with bats and balls, which also supports the development of their hand-to-eye coordination. Older children take part in parachute activities, which strengthen their arm muscles. They whoop in delight as they take turns to run to the centre of the parachute as their friends flap the parachute up and down, creating a wind tunnel. The oldest children play team games, where they cheer on their friends to succeed and take turns.

This provision meets requirements

Leaders and staff have high expectations of children's behaviour and swiftly de- escalate situations safely and fairly, if required. Staff and children demonstrate a mutual respect. As a result, children play harmoniously together and are kind to one another. Children listen as staff present rules and guidelines of activities. This helps children to understand expectations and build their knowledge and confidence.

n Leaders have worked hard to make the necessary changes to improve the camp since the last inspection. Staff induction and training has been strengthened to ensure staff are confident and competent to provide suitable age-appropriate activities. This includes agency staff who have a secure induction on arrival. n Staff ensure that children learn how to stay healthy. Before snack and mealtimes children wash their hands. Staff remind children to replenish their water bottles to stay hydrated during the day. Younger children are reminded to use the bathroom before going out to play. n Staff are organised to ensure that children are supported during the day with a familiar adult. This helps to build positive relationships. All rooms are used effectively to meet the needs of the different ages of children who attend.

31 July 2023 n Staff ensure that children play in a safe environment. Access to the buildings is secure to keep children from harm. Risk assessments are carried out on all activities to ensure they are appropriate and safe for all children. n Children enjoy learning about wildlife and the environment around them. When children find bugs, staff skilfully ask children if we 'keep' or 'release' the bug. The subject is extended to discuss animal habitats and children share their knowledge of the rainforest, desert and the ocean. Staff build on what children already know and provide further information to extend their knowledge of animal habitats. Children display eagerness to know more about their environment and listen with intent. n Children have lots of opportunities to build on their independence skills. Young children can take their coat on and off and put their outdoor shoes on to play. Sometimes, staff will support them to build their confidence in the skill. Older

children are reminded to take responsibility for their belongings and place them on a chair before they go to play. Occasionally, older children are not encouraged to complete creative tasks which they are capable of completing independently. For example, staff cut paper with scissors for children as they begin a creative activity. n Children engage in lots of indoor play opportunities and staff support children to make choices in their play. They encourage children to engage in positive interactions. However, occasionally staff supporting younger children do not organise room activities as well, to ensure children remain engaged and stimulated.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

Staff understand the signs and symptoms of abuse. Through regular training and updates staff are able to recognise when a child may be at risk of harm and who to make a referral to. Leaders ensure that safe recruitment procedures are in place. This ensures that staff are suitable to work with children. In addition, leaders make ongoing suitability checks to identify any recent changes to circumstances that may have an impact on staff working with children. Risk assessments are carried out to reduce the likelihood of accidents. The environment is hygienic and clean to ensure there is no spread of infection.
