Highworth After School Club

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents

The provision is good • Staff have made many improvements since their last inspection.

They demonstrate a much improved knowledge and understanding of their roles. For example, the provider has effective systems in place to monitor the suitability of staff and committee members and information about staff is now retained as required. • Staff use the provider's risk assessments, policies and procedures to support children's safety, health and well-being.

Hygiene practices are securely improved to ensure the well-being of the children attending. • Staff have worked with the local authority and early years support to enhance their practice and are now more able to demonstra...te how they value children's choices in their play. They offer a more secure range of activities for children both before and after the school day.

• Partnerships with school and parents support consistency for children's care and development. • Children enjoy their time at the club. They behave very well and have warm bonds with the staff who care for them.

Children show respect for each other and for the staff caring for them. It is not yet outstanding because: • Sometimes, staff are not proactive enough to plan more regularly for activities that help children to be more confident to explore and try new things. • Staff do not plan effectively enough for activities that promote how groups of children integrate with each other, to enhance children's confidence in building relationships with others.
