This provision meets requirements

Children are warmly welcomed by staff when they arrive at camp in the morning. Staff in charge of signing children in give good information to parents and are gentle and reassuring with children who are nervous or new to the camp. They show genuine care and concern about what they could do to help children feel more confident and secure. Once children enter the camp and meet with staff and their peers, they quickly settle and enjoy the activities on offer. For example, older children have street dance battles and work as a team to programme robots and make them follow simple commands. Younger children enjoy 'aqua attack', giant art activities and go on minibeast safaris. The camp provides resources which are suitable for all ages and all children have their own base rooms, which gives an added sense of security to the youngest children.

This provision meets requirements

Staff in charge of working with the youngest children have the appropriate experience and qualifications. Their interactions with children are kind and caring, yet fun and enthusiastic. This helps children to feel excited about the activities they participate in. Although children can get a little over-excited at times, their behaviour is good overall. They respond well to the staff, who give them plenty of praise and encouragement.

n Staff have a good support system of managers and area managers who oversee the running of the provision. Staff comment that their well-being is good and that their training helps them to understand their roles and responsibilities. Management talk to staff about 'being on a 10', meaning to be the best they can be. Staff are encouraged to share their ideas about how they could improve the activities they provide. n Children have access to a range of fun and interesting activities. Staff implement these well which means that children remain engaged for some time. When playing with the parachute, children gently waft it up and down when staff tell them it is sunny. When staff say it is starting to rain, children shake the parachute and when it is hailing, children shake the parachute vigorously and squeal with delight as ping-pong balls are added to the top. Children are eager for more when staff suggest different games and ways to use the parachute.

n Staff skilfully weave learning into children's activities without them realising. For example, older children play a game called 'Jammy Doughnut', which is linked to learning about the five senses. Children are asked if they can remember what the different senses are and take turns to use their hearing and try and work out who has called out 'Jammy Doughnut'. n Staff are good role models and help children to understand and follow the camp

14 August 2024 rules and to develop positive attitudes. Children include one another well and play kindly together. Staff help children to listen to instructions by calling out 'hands on top'. Children put their hands on their heads and reply 'can you stop'. They stop to listen to the staff who explain the consequences of children's actions on others and themselves. n Staff work hard to ensure the setting is safe and secure. The procedures to sign children in and out are robust. Staff communicate well with each other, which helps with the smooth organisation of the setting, and they supervise the children carefully. Staff complete statutory training, such as safeguarding, to help keep children safe. n Staff promote children's good health well. They encourage parents to supply healthy packed lunches and ensure children have plenty of opportunities to drink and stay hydrated. All children have plenty of opportunities for fresh air and

This supports staff to meet any special educational needs that a child might have. Staff communicate well with parents, for instance, through daily handover discussions.
