How will my child be looked after?

The welfare of your child is our primary concern. Before our childrens camps open we make sure the venue is appropriate for the care of kids aged between 4 ½ and 14 years old. On-site risk assessments are completed and staff are trained in all the necessary policies and procedures. This training includes health, safety, hygiene, safeguarding, first aid, managing children's behaviour and much more. We also train staff to deliver a variety of different activities, always making sure they're safe and fun.

Whilst your child is at Barracudas Activity Day Camp the staff monitor the activities daily to check they are safe and running in accordance with our codes of practice. Staff also complete daily welfare reminder checklists for various childcare routines such as hygiene, healthy eating, emergency evacuation, sun protection and toilet trips. Children are continually supervised by staff throughout the day including break and lunch times. (Please note, only 11-14 year olds are allowed to go to the toilet in same gender pairs without supervision, all other ages are supervised.)

On camp, the Designated Safeguarding Lead is the Early Years Manager should you wish to speak to them. We also have a company Designated Safeguarding Lead available at our Head Office.

At the end of each day our staff will follow our secure collection procedure as children leave. If you'd like any feedback on your child's day please just ask during this time and we'll arrange for your child's Group Leader (also known as their key worker) to speak to you.
