Report for AGM Wednesday 27th March 2024
Thank you all for attending the AGM today and its lovely to see everyone.
This academic year we started off with very low numbers. We decided to take children from aged 2 as this would help our numbers and would prepare us for when the government brings in the 15 hours free childcare for working parents of 2-year-olds. We also made the decision to open on a Wednesday afternoon so we could accommodate the 30 hours funding for working parents of 3- & 4- year-olds. This has taken some getting used to and has been a fairly big change for the staff and I personally would like to thank them for their hard work and support with these changes and for their continuity with providing the best that they can for the children in our care.
For the past academic year, we have had ‘Boogie Tots’ come into the setting to do some dancing and action songs with the children. The children have really enjoyed this and we hope to continue with this every other term. This helps children with their co-ordination, physical activity and can also help to support their listening and attention. The children are really benefitting from these sessions. We have also had Little Music Stars visit the setting to do some singing with the children. This really helps with the children’s listening and focusing skills as well as improving their communication skills.
I would like to say a very special thank you to Fran who is stepping down after a few years of being on the committee, so Fran, thank you for all your commitment and support. It is very much appreciated.
I would also like to thank the parents of the children at the setting. You have been very generous with fundraising and it all goes back into the setting to benefit the children.
Thankyou to the committee for giving up your time to help with the setting. Without you the setting wouldn’t be able to open and also a big thankyou to the staff. Every year is different and the staff do an amazing job year in year out.
