Caldecotte Xperience | | The centre does not seem to have any security. Three members of staff walked onto the site on different days, none were questioned by any centre staff. Not good enough for primary aged children.
When bus arrived, school not greeted by centre staff. They made their way onto the site and sat waiting under a tree until the instructors came to take them to first activity.
No site briefing or instructions on where to find water stations despite 27 degree temperatures.
Accommodation was really poor, beds very narrow for children let alone staff. Staff bedrooms with tiny bunk beds, showers not fixed to the wall and only trickles of water. Mattresses dirty, staff had a very uncomfortable two nights.
Food on day one was poor and child sized portions given to staff.
Bush craft - centre staff left school staff to make sure the fire went out. Centre staff left the area. Big H&S concerns. | 21 June 2023 |
