Consultation with parents of children attending camp during the October half-term camp 2010
The Care Commission require Excel to create a policy about children watching films in its service in consultation with parents. This is to comply with the National Care Standards Early Education and Childcare up to the age of 16. Standard 14.2: Well managed service.
Would you please take a few moments and read the following information, and answer a few questions.
Supervision out with the sports programme
Excel’s sports programme runs from 9am until 5pm, and offers supervision for an hour at the beginning of the day from 8am and an hour at the end of the day until 6pm. This service is free of charge.
During the supervision period children at camp have the choice of watching a (U-rated) film in the ‘Film Room’ or to join a table set up for games, puzzles, jigsaws or books to read in the same room.
Q1. Are you happy for your child(ren) to watch a film during the supervision part of the day?
Q2. Are you happy for your child(ren) to join a table set up for games, puzzles or books to read during the
supervision part of the day?
Q3. If you are not happy about Q1 or 2, please let us know your suggestions.
Note: If you wish to discuss this further, please call 07970 514 514 to discuss this with Excel’s Director or make an appointment to meet and discuss your suggestions.
Supervised lunch time ‘down-time’
As above, a (U-rated) film will be shown during a 30 minute ‘down-time’ break following a 30 minute lunch break. This down-time break is to balance an active morning and an essential rest from engaging in sports. The option to join a table set up for games, puzzles or books is also available.
Children between 11 – 16 years have the option to meet in an alternative ‘Games Room’ next door to the film room. A collection of electronic and board games, jigsaws etc is available.
