| PGL Windmill Hill | The centre had very well established routines linked to their risk assessments. All were shared with school staff. Staff were professional and knew their roles and responsibilities and all carried them out well. All spaces were of a high cleanliness standard with good ventilation. | 19 September 2021 | |
| Andrew Simpson Centre Portland | Superb staff, very well organised and confident working with children of this age with a variety of needs. Katie in particular worked hard to support children to get back on the water when their confidence dipped. Drew had excellent pace and explanations which kept the children engaged throughout. | 19 September 2021 | |
| Wildside Experience | Superb venue. Couldn't do enough to support us both pre and during the visit. Staff were supported during the visit and able to relax and "be" with the children as the Wildside staff were so confident and organised. Itinerary was expertly planned and very good value for money. | 19 September 2021 | |

| Kingswood Staffordshire | Excellent staff who engaged the children in exciting, safe activities. A compact site well suited to our group. A good range of activities. Accommodation did the job but perhaps in need of a lick of paint/modernising a little as some parts were a bit tired. An enjoyable trip. | 18 September 2021 | |

| Longridge | We had a fantastic 3 days at Longridge. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The activities, which were run by their staff, were well organised, engaging, fun, challenging and adapted to meet the needs of individuals as necessary. The only negative about Longridge is that it is a little run-down and in need of some TLC! That is why it got 4, rather than 5, stars. | 16 September 2021 | |

| 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 | |
