Official Ofsted approval for Upminster camp!

The officials from Ofsted visited our activity camp in Upminster this summer and we’re pleased to be able to confirm that once again we’ve been given the thumbs up.

Our Upminster camp has been registered with Ofsted since 2001 and this is the camp’s 5th inspection. We’re thrilled that our Upminster camp meets our high standards and has received a Good rating by the professionals.

The inspector noted

Children excitedly talk about developing new skills, such as circus skills and learning to drive go-karts… The wonderful array of activities on offer support children to develop their physical skills well. Children are happy and enjoy their experiences at the camp.

A thorough induction process helps to equip the staff team to deliver sessions at a high standard. An ongoing robust programme of professional development supports staff to continually improve practice and deliver a wide range of activities and experiences effectively.

Some older children have been attending the camp on a regular basis for many years and speak highly of the fantastic experiences they consistently have.

Barracudas is happy that yet another camp and yet another year, we 're hitting the mark and continue to provide a fantastic solution for parents and children alike.
