This provision meets requirements

Children are extremely happy and show high levels of enjoyment at this well- thought-out camp. As soon as they arrive, they are eager to start participating in activities of their choosing. Staff greet all children with enthusiasm and kindness. Children are allocated a key group according to their age during their time at the camp. This enables staff to provide appropriate care and activities and supports younger children to feel safe and secure. Staff and children enjoy engaging in the wide range of activities available. Children have many opportunities to exercise and learn new skills. For example, children demonstrate strong physical development as they use their legs to move themselves along on the seated skateboards. Staff provide encouragement and motivation throughout. Children cheer their teammates on and this contributes to the positive and uplifting environment.

This provision meets requirements

Children behave very well. Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour and implement effective rules and boundaries. Each morning, children list the golden rules of the camp. Children confidently explain the meaning of each rule. For example, children explain, 'You must always ask an adult before going to the toilet and go with your buddy.' Staff and children say the last rule together with passion and enthusiasm, 'Have fun, fun, fun and more fun'. Staff are positive role models for children and they value their opinions and ideas. The atmosphere throughout the camp is calm, friendly and motivated.
