for the pre-school!
*Ofsted visited in Feb 2024 and viewed the
preschool as ‘good’. Feedback from the
inspector on the day was nothing short of
glowing.
Our goal to boost fundraising efforts has
been achieved with several highly
successful events:
*We ran our first Meet Father Christmas
event for preschool children and families in
the local area. This was a huge success,
providing much needed funds for the
preschool and a wonderful afternoon out for
the local community.
*The partnership with HH Infant School has
been enhanced with several events run in
conjunction with the school- including
Spring and Summer Discos.
*The Quiz night also returned bigger and
better than ever, with catering and a bar
also provided by the preschool. This was a
night to be remembered!
*There have been some investments in
updating the preschool resources with new
sheds and outdoor equipment being
purchased as well as finally updating the
interactive whiteboard.
*The children were able to go on their first| school trip since pre-covid. **Staff and Professional Development**  Staff training has remained up to date, including paediatric first aid training, food hygiene training, maths training and safeguarding training  Committee training is up to date  One member of staff began her level 3 EYE Diploma  Another member of staff began her Level 3 Assessors Qualification. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
