					Their knowledge is being continually

					The ethos of the setting centres on a

					children are given the appropriate
					opportunities to develop through stimulating
					play and creativity in a safe and secure
					environment.
					We continually assess parent's views,
					through starters and end of year
					questionnaires, and careful planning and
					research is undertaken to provide children
					with novel and stimulating activities.
					The setting ran 190supervised Pre-school
					sessions for children aged between two and
					five years old. Three hours per session for
					children who receive the Free Early
					Education Entitlement (FEEE) and for fee-
					paying children. Reaching 35 children and
					35families throughout this reporting period.
					The Pre-school offers funded two-year-old
					places to children who are entitled to 2-year-
					old funding. We offered places to eight
					funded two-year-olds during this reporting
					period.
					The Pre-school also offers place to fee
					paying children.
					Due to the Pandemic the Pre-school closed
					twice due to positive cases. The Pre-school
					remained open during the national
					lockdown from January -March 2021.
					Attendance durin that time was

reasonable high, with some 15children
continuing to come in regularly.
The Pre-school continues to have a good
relationship with the church, who are
extremely helpful and supportive of its work
with the children. The members ofthe
church are usually invited to the Nativity,
coffee mornings and the Spring Fete.
However, due to Covid restrictions the
Spring Fete was unable to take place again
this year and coffee mornings were limited.
The Committee managed to raise R624
during the reporting year by holding two
coffee mornings and two raffles, one at
Christmas and the other at the end of the
summer term.
Monies raised through raffles, coffee
mornings and parent donations are used to
purchase resources such as art materials,
and outdoor equipment, and to fund
experiences such as Zoos4You to visit the
setting with various animals.
The local funeral directors sponsored our
Parent Handbook.
The committee also held sponsored events
such as:
Sponsored colours day.
