WHEN GOVERNMENT GUILELINES ALLOWED, WE OFFERED A FULL SERVICE TO ALL CHILDREN. THIS CONTINUED DESPITE SEVERAL MEMBERS OF STAFF BEING DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY COVID-19 AND WERE ABSENT DUE TO ILLNESS OR ISOLATION.
THE PRESCHOOL CONTINUES TO USE OUR FACE BOOK PAGE WHICH WE USE FOR REMINDERS AND NOTICES ABOUT FORTHCOMING EVENTS. WE ALSO CONTINUE TO USE TAPESTRY AS A MEANS OF COMMUNICATION AND RECORD OF CHILDREN’S PROGRESS.
THE BABY AND TODDLER GROUP WAS UNABLE TO RUN FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME DURING COVID19 DUE TO GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES. HOWEVER, WHEN IS WAS ALLOWED TO RUN, PARENTS RETURNED ONCE AGAIN.
THE PRE-SCHOOL MOVED TO A NEW PURPOSE-BUILT FACILITY WITHIN THE NEW COMMUNITY CENTRE ON THE SAME SITE. BUILDING WORK WAS COMPLETED AND WE MOVED INTO OUR NEW HOME IN LATE SUMMER 2020. THE PRESCHOOL WAS UP AND RUNNING FOR THE START OF THE NEW AUTUMN TERM IN SEPTEMBER 2020. WE CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THE OUTDOOR PLAY AREA/GARDEN, WHICH IS MUCH BIGGER THAN OUR PREVIOUS OUTDOOR SPACE AND IS A FANTASTIC PLACE FOR CHILDREN TO PLAY AND LEARN.
ONE-OFF CAPITAL EXPENDITURE TO LAY AN ARTIFICAL LAWN TO THE ENTIRE OUTDOOR AREA, AND NEW FIXTURES WERE NEEDED WITHIN THE PRESCHOOL ROOM TO PROVIDE THE FACILITIES NEEDED FOR THE CHILDREN.
WE WERE UNABLE TO HOLD OUR USUAL ANNUAL FUNDRAISING EVENTS DUE TO THE COVID19 RESTRICTIONS.
