Playroom: The core of our wonderful team has remained constant with Ja4, Chloe. Celia. Lottie (yes, she came back after a year awayll...). Linda, Miranda and Venetia more recently added to with Katie who knows North Wraxall well due to her brothers comiry here and her Mum beiThJ a former Lady in Bluell... From September 2023 we have taken children Under 2 years old. initially we took l yeor olds but realised that as we are all in one big space that was not completely ideal for such diddy folk or for the staff . we then upped the age to 18months and this hos worked well for us and how we are set up in the Playroom, however, we nw need to reassess this goi forward and take the yourger children again in order to stay relevant locally. We have been lucky to have a couple of very busy years with 34 children on roll this Summer, however this is due to drop signif ic¢Mtly for September. Recent feedback has indicated that some children are not joining us despite their Parents/Carers loviry the settiThJ on their visits due to the hours we currently provide. We need to look ot extend all our afternoons to a 4.00pm f inish, perhaps look at an earlier startin9 time and Holiday Club too... obviously this will need discussion with the current Ladies, possible recruitment and a9reement from the Hall Committee. On behalf of the Comrnittee I would like to thonk our Ladies in Blue, for the wonderful work they do with all the lovety children and families we know that we ore so lucky to have here at North Wraxall.
