## **Easton PreSchool Leader’s Report  for AGM 2021** 

February 2020-2021 has been a strange year with Covid19 rearing it’s ugly head, something none of us had ever encountered before. 

March-July we were forced to close and follow lockdown rules meaning STAY AT HOME and it saw staff working from home, creating short activity videos and updates sent to all of our families, updating policies and attending virtual training courses; not being able to be furloughed due to the setting receiving Government funding for a high percentage of our children. The committee agreed that staff were to remain of basic pay. We also transferred funding to 3 other nurseries for children of Key Workers so they could access childcare at a setting that was open. All this resulted in our finances taking a blow like never before. 

As our year of 2020 leavers didn’t get a send off to ‘big school’ in the July, during the summer holidays we had a Covid safe gathering at benches six feet apart, outside on the grassy area, ‘One family one bench bring your own food with no sharing’ event! 

It was brilliant and we caught up with all our families that we hadn’t seen since March of that year and the children were able to see their friends again after all the time in lockdown apart from them. 

By August we were preparing to resume in the September and to increase numbers we offered 3 weeks of prebooked Covid safe, half an hour slots, adults masked, to come and have a look around preschool and its surroundings.  From this we secured 3 new starters for September and a couple more families were thinking about coming to us in the future. 

So under new Covid rules we opened a very different Easton PreSchool having minimalised soft furnishings, put away dressing up clothes, soft toys and dolls as these were considered Covid transmittable. 

It was all about cleaning, with washing hands at every turn, staff and children alike. We started drop off and pick up at the door as parents watched their preschooler walk across our threshold to have their temperature taken, getting ready to leave once getting the outcome of the thermometer reading. We played outside more than ever and went on walks around the farm and down to the woods every day having it to ourselves as public venues weren’t allowed to open as yet. We were free! 

Things got worse in the country over the Christmas holidays and we went into another lockdown except Early Years settings were to remain ‘open to all’ so we continued with the keep Covid safe routines and saw the Spring term out complying with any Government rule that was thrust upon us! However, we played outside more than ever and went on walks around the farm and down to the woods every day having it to ourselves as public venues weren’t allowed to open as yet. We were free! 

We moved to ‘bring your own snack’ because we were wasting fruit and of course funds due to numbers of children attendance was sadly sporadic. Families were undecided as to whether to send their children back due to latest government initiatives being confusing and inconsistent. Who can blame them! 

A really good aspect appeared from all our Covid safe restrictions and that was we found the children settled so much easier and quicker being dropped off and picked up at the door so we are continuing with this routine to this day. 



Our numbers have dipped but we continue under various Covid restrictions, managing to maintain happy, confident, eager to play and learn youngsters getting them ready for school and so they are able to move on into their futures successfully. But let’s get recruiting!                                                              Jackie Wall Dec2021
