| Rushall Farm | Super trip. The children loved setting up their tents and slept well! The facilities are great and the staff very attentive.

| Waddecar Scout Activity Centre | Great facilities however no limits or curfews put on other groups. I did have to intervene when scouts were running through our camp, and noise at night was a problem. | 14 September 2021 | |

| Pleasurewood Hills Family Theme Park | Safe and fun day out for children and staff. | 13 September 2021 | |
| Lodge Hill Trust | Not all children got to take part in some activities. The site wasn't overly prepared for wet weather e.g. no shelters at activities whilst children wait their turn. Some of the staff's manner with the children wasn't at times overly suitable - e.g. choice language. First aid of an injured child wasn't dealt with quickly and by the staff team - had to be prompted by our staff | 13 September 2021 | |
| No Limits Development | Instructors were excellent. Well-mannered with the students, clear in their communications and personable. They supported the students throughout and were even involved in playing with the students during downtimes. Couldn't have asked more. Steve the lead instructor was great at communicating plans and through discussions adjusting the schedule/activities to suit the group. Best group of NLD staff I have come across yet. | 13 September 2021 | |
| Essex Outdoors Bradwell | The activities were excellent and the students were able to explore the local area as a part of the planned sessions. Food options were good. Social spaces provided some great breakout. Location on the water was lovely. Only thing that lets this place down is the basic accommodation BUT the pros outweigh the cons. | 13 September 2021 | |

| Water Park Adventure Centre | Water Park is a marvellous place for anyone. The staff and instructors are well-trained and resourceful. The variety of educational, adventure and confidence-building experiences are huge. I can't recommend them more highly.
