Trustees Report Kingswood Village Playgroup and Toddlers 2021
2020-
In September we started a new term with slightly lower numbers than usual due to the pandemic however, we stayed open throughout the third lockdown. We have continued to use the learning journal Tapestry which has been successful. It has been a great tool to give parents an insight into the setting as they are still unable to come inside due to social distancing.
We were unable to hold a Christmas play in person this year but the children sang Christmas songs outside to parents at collection time.
We managed to reopen Dragonflies in November but only offering before school care. We had to close the service after Christmas due to the pandemic but reopened in March, again only in the morning. We opened fully in November 2021. Numbers using the service did decline during this time as many parents were working from home.
Katie who does Music with Mummy has continued to join us on a Monday which the children love. We have celebrated World Book Day and Children in Need. The children dressed up in some brilliant outfits for World Book Day and we had bedtime stories and hot chocolate in our Pyjamas!
While restrictions allowed we managed to keep Toddlers open by moving to the larger hall and implementing the use of contact tracing and wearing face masks. We felt that this was hugely important to the local community as so few baby and toddlers groups continued to run through the pandemic. We have often seen children socialising in a group for the first time due to the restrictions.
We have had some new starters and we have 8 off to school this year. Numbers are looking quite good for September but we will continue to advertise. It is hard to predict numbers with the ongoing pandemic. We will welcome when children are able to attend more than one setting in the future.
We are continuing to enjoy our outside space and have been tending our allotment. We were able to hold a successful sports day outside with supporters sitting in family groups.
Our staff member Sarah has achieved her NVQ3. Our Deputy Zara has returned to work following her maternity leave.
Our Facebook page has continued to be very active this year, thanks to staff member Jess, who is the main contributor.
