Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity during the year			Before starting back in September we invited all our new parents and children to a timed session in the Playgroup Garden as a 'meet and greet' opportunity with all the staff, as due to the restrictions of Covid parents are not able to stay and play for a session.
			We continued to follow the ever-changing Covid guidelines with constant
			cleaning of all touch points and washing/wiping down ofthe toys after
			each session. All soft furnishings and toys were still put away.
			In November there was another lockdown and Playgroup was open
			throughout. Instead ofour usual Chffistmas Party we had a Christmas
			Week here all the children played party games and had a party lunch.
			Each child received a gift and made cards and decorations to take home.
			In January there was another lockdown and this time some of our
			families stayed away. Staff stayed in regular contact with their key
			children. We subscribed to Twinkl and sent home fun activity packs. The
			packs were hand delivered which also kept us in contact with everyone.
			At Playgroup we celebrated the Lunar New Year, trying different foods
			and experimenting with different types ofwriting in different languages.
			In February all children were back. The children that had been away
			settled back well. This is a testament to the staff and how they met the needs of each and every child.
			After the Easter holiday we had some soil delivered and began our
			Playgroup Allotment. All the children were very engaged in what was
			going on —digging, raking, planting seeds and daily watering. Itwas so
			successful we grew our own strawberries for snackl We also grew
			runner beans, potatoes, carrots, beetroot and courgettes that turned out
			to be pumpkinsl We sent each child home with a selection ofvegetables
			to share with their family.
			We also grew a selection offlowers from sweet peas to lavender that the
			children used to make potions and perfumes with.
			Croc 'n' Roll started up again in June and Steph comes in each week to
			do a music session with them. She has a theme each week bringing
			along the relevant toys and a book, as well as her guitar and lots of
			different action songs. All the children also experience playing an
			instrument. Steph ends each session with a bubble blowing machine.
			Due to Covid the pre-school children did not manage to go to all oftheir settling in sessions at Primary School. However, the session they did
			attend, all children thoroughly enjoyed. They also missed out on our
			Leavers Party but again we made the most of it and each pre-schooler
			left Playgroup presented with their Primary School bag, a fanfare of
			music and a flourish ofbubbles.
			A member ofstaff is expecting a baby and finishes at the end ofthe
			summer term so we will be employing someone to cover the maternity.
			We have made it through a whole year Covid free. It has been tough
			going and at times a roller coaster for us all. We have a fantastic staff
			team who have shown compassion, support and care for each other
			throughout.
