LYMINGTON LITTLE DOLPHINS PRE-SCHOOL
ANNUAL REPORT - SCHOOL YEAR 2019/20
We began our pre-school year with a few more more children on roll than the previous year – 35 in total. We also set aside some spaces to enable us to accommodate a small group of children who turned three years old during the Autumn term, taking the total on roll to 39.
Over the course of the year the Pre-School management team and staff attended regular PVI briefings, SENCO briefings, Safeguarding Support Groups & Birth To Four Networks, all with Services For Young Children (SFYC). Doing so helps ensure we are fully up to date and compliant with all new and developing government legislation and that we continue to offer a service of the highest standard. Covid has affected the availability of face-to-face meetings, briefings etc. but we continue to access these on-line where they are available and we are able to do so.
'Tapestry', the software programme we use for recording childrens' development and progress within the EYFS framework, was once more successfully employed during the school year – its fifth year of use. AnneMarie & Amy continued to meet with the rest of the team on a regular quarterly basis and to lead a process of continuing assessment and evaluation to ensure the ongoing improvement, development and best use of Tapestry.
Training and staff development is always a key priority and this year, until Covid became an issue, staff attended a wide range of courses and undertook training and development in areas such as Speech & Language, Safeguarding, First Aid, Vulnerable Children and Special Educational Needs (SEN). All staff undertook Prevent Duty training. Anne-Marie has put the First Class Honours Degree in Childhood Studies which she attained during 2019/20 to good use within the setting and has taken a more active role as Deputy Manager.
With regard to staff changes: Jane joined us in January 2020. She brought with her extensive experience in childcare, business management and marketing, all of which have added a great deal to the wealth and range of experience which already exists within the team. Amy commenced a years maternity leave in April 2020 and we look forward to her return in the spring of 2021.
Topics covered by the children during the year included: All About Me, Nursery Rhymes, Light & Dark & Celebrations, People Who Help Us and Julia Donaldson stories.
Links with the local community normally involve outings to the Library and visits to various other settings which are both informative and fun for the children. We also usually have visits to Pre-School by Policemen, Paramedics, Vets, Forest Rangers, rescue dogs etc. In a normal year we would also hold a summer day trip to places such as Wonderland near Bournemouth Airport. Unfortunately we have been unable to do much of this because of the pandemic but we look forward to normal service being resumed in the not too distant future.
Improvements to the setting include an extensive refurbishment of the garden area. The garden looks all the better for it and it now provides increased and improved outdoor learning opportunities. We have begun using the new outdoor office/storage room following its installation during 2019/20. This increases the space available to us and allows us to hold and store a lot more in the way of resources for the children. We also totally updated the Pre-School website to provide a much improved information source for parents and also gave greater focus to our Facebook page to provide more frequent and regular updates about the activities the children have been taking part in as a group. Throughout the year Belinda has been leading the children in twice weekly music and movement sessions, held in the Music Room until Covid struck and now outdoors in the garden. These sessions focus on the improvement of fine motor and growth motor skills as well as helping develop speech and language skills, not to mention maths skills and personal, social and emotional development. They are also great fun too of course.
Finally, we would like to thank the 2019/20 Committee for their commitment, hard work and sterling support throughout what has been a challenging year for everyone.
