**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

Our year together started once again with a dedicated new starters induction and settling morning for those children joining playgroup for the very first time, this is a lovely way to get to know all the children and families and proved very successful. As always, we spent September settling back into playgroup focussing on what we did during the long summer break and learning about each other with our all about me theme, we made use of the good weather and spent lots of time in the garden, it was lovely to hear the playhouse so full of laughter and chatter. Spending time in the garden meant the children could observe the changing season and we were soon enjoying the bounty of Autumn from conkers, vibrant coloured leaves, acorns and of course the antics of the very cheeky squirrels that live on the school site. We also began our first weekly cooking sessions baking autumnal treats for all. Our AGM was a success and as we waved a fond farewell to Emma and thanked her for time on the committee we welcomed our newly formed committee of Leanna, Kirsty, Rachel, Chelsy and Lizzie who have worked tirelessly to support us throughout the year. Once we reached the half term point the remainder of the autumn term seemed to fly by as we continued our Autumn exploration, explored space, had lots of Halloween fun, thought about why we wear poppies and celebrated World Nursery rhyme week. As the colder weather arrived we looked at all things cold and icy and of course as it inevitably does this rolled into our ‘sparkly season’ where you end up with glitter and sparkles everywhere…..if you stand still too long at this time of year you will end up festooned with glitter and sequins! The children made special Christmas mugs as our Christmas fundraiser, and we had a very well attended Family Christmas craft morning. We also took part in the Landbeach Christmas Tree Festival entering our ‘Treely unique’ Christmas tree created from handprints of all of the children and staff who make up playgroup, we were absolutely thrilled to receive the Judges’ Choice prize for our efforts. As the Autumn term drew to a close we had to say goodbye to Abby who looked after the caterpillar group, we were sad to see her go but thank her for all she did throughout her time both on the committee and as a much loved member of staff. We finished the year with a Christmas party for all where the children enjoyed the Mr Marvel magic show and lots of dancing and merriment, we all had a fantastic time and left feeling suitably festive and ready for Christmas with our families. In the first half of spring term we had a dedicated messy play week which included lots of ice and all things cold to reflect the season, this led onto us thinking about the birds in our garden and what they eat as we joined in the Great Garden Bird Watch. We also explored storytelling and traditional tales, Chinese new year and Shrove Tuesday. At Community Playgroup we feel it’s very important to empower children to be confident to talk about how they feel, their likes and dislikes and also how we can be kind and supportive so we took part in Mental health week which had the theme ‘A Child’s Voice’. We had lots of activities on offer to support this and it was great to see children actively thinking about and exploring the ideas and activities and then using what they’d learnt. With the first signs of spring appearing, we started the second half of the term looking at the changes in our environment with lots of spring themed activities. We participated in science week with lots of amazing science experiments and of course we explored Easter and new beginnings. At the end of the Spring term we said goodbye to Sarah Hughes who had been a valued member of staff at playgroup for nearly 7 years, we thank her for the care a support she gave the children, setting and staff. Over the Easter holidays we took delivery of some amazing new bespoke storage created by local carpenter and Playgroup parent Scott Jones, we are very thankful to him and James Morris who transported them and installed them for us to fill with resources. We were able to purchase these and the storage baskets following our successful

bid for a Tesco community grant through their token scheme. The children love being able to self-select resources and it’s made early morning set up much more efficient too! As the summer term began, we were really happy to welcome Sarah Heil as acting deputy manager, she settled in well and quickly became a firm favourite with the children. The term was filled with fun as we looked at life cycles and welcomed the eagerly awaited duckling hatching program….it was so exciting to watch the ducklings emerge and the children take on caring roles for our little ducklings who were duly named Quack, Jingle bells, Leaf, Bob and Lily. We then looked at hand hygiene, and as the weather had begun to warm up, we explored sun awareness and safety. In June we were busy creating costumes so our children could join in with the village feast parade. As a community playgroup we think it’s really important that our children are proud of their village and surrounding areas and grow to become active, supportive members of the community and believe taking part in these celebrations really helps to embed these values. Sadly, in mid-June we had to say goodbye to another valued member of the staff team when Ratna left to join another early years setting. We are thankful for her care and commitment to us all whilst she was at playgroup. With a gap in the team, we were pleased to successfully recruit 2 new members of staff, Rebecca and Lizzy who have brought new energy and enthusiasm to the setting. The remainder of the term was spent exploring healthy eating and oral hygiene where every child had the opportunity to create healthy, tooth friendly recipes and take part in our big brush. The children all received a toothbrush, toothpaste and sticker chart provided by playgroup from funds raised through our Easter sponsored challenge. We also looked at growth, change and transitions as we prepared our rising fives for their move to school and our younger children to the changes that come as the older children leave. Our term ended with an end of term and leavers lunch for all children where we celebrated the rising fives’ unique contributions to playgroup, and everyone had chance to say goodbye. I would like to close my report by thanking the amazing team that make up Waterbeach Community Playgroup - firstly the wonderful staff I have had the pleasure to work with this year, Sarah, Sarah, Kate, Ratna, Abby, Laura, Rebecca and Lizzy who work tirelessly to support our children and families. Secondly, our wonderful committee Leanna, Kirsty, Rachel, Lizzie and Chelsy, who have helped steer us through yet another very challenging year; without all their time, effort, commitment, and dedication there wouldn’t be a playgroup. And finally, to our amazing children and their families who make everything we do so worthwhile.
