Survey Update
Thank you to all our families who completed our ASC survey last term. It was lovely to read all the positive comments, which I have passed onto the team. There were also some great suggestions and feedback.

We actioned… |
Struggling with the toilet for younger children |
· Designated staff working with the younger children. · Toilet training seat and step to help with the larger toilets. |
Food choices |
· We are reviewing the menu after half term to look at the choices and which food is served on which day. · Food is cooked by a Herts Catering member of staff, following the guidance from Herts catering. |
Variety of structured activities and staff engagement |
· Purchased new resources for ASC including a range of arts and crafts. · Asked ASC staff about interests and skills to see which activities they can run during ASC. · Sorted out all the resources and threw away items that were broken or had missing parts. · Organised resources so easier to find different activities, to ensure variety. · Clear expectations given to ASC staff at the start of term around engaging interactions with children. |
Consistency with behaviour |
· Meet with all the ASC staff and went over behaviour expectations, behaviour policy and Golden Rules to ensure consistency. · ASC manager to contact parents during ASC if there has been an incident so messages are not passed on at the gate. · Medical Tracker coming soon to ensure messages about illness and injuries are sent directly to parents via the online email alerts. |
Time waiting at the gate |
· Extra cloakroom space created for Nursery children to help find belongings quicker. · ASC staff keeping cloakroom areas tidy so children can get things quickly. · Children gather up their belongings ready to go home, when getting nearer to the end of the session. · We are looking into costs for a quicker process for signing out. |
