Kingswood Staffordshire | | Kingswood Trip Evaluation:
Positives
Many of the staff are professional, well prepared and quickly build positive relationships with the children.
Many of the activities were well resourced and well run. Staff helped the children (and adults) to feel confident and safe.
The high, physical activities (climbing, zip line etc) are excellent
The programme ran relatively to time with good routines
Our rep (Dan) checked in several times and worked to make changes to the programme where needed/ requested (marshmallows and zip line)
Development points
Food- very limited, especially if vegetarian/vegan. Beef gelatin marshmallows with no veggie option. Hot choc was like drinking warm water.
Programme of activities- mixed quality, mostly very good depending on leader.
Some activity leads were poor at building relationships with the children. One in particular seemed poorly prepared and unprofessional. | 26 June 2023 |
