Summary ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year
Our September starting figures were high again with 27 children on roll.
We've been able to open 5full days which isfantastic. The AGM was
held in person on 20th September 2022 where
Nikki Evans was voted
our chairperson
again.
Unfortunately
we lost two members ofpart time staff within weeks of
starting back in September. We struggled
to recruit new staff to replace
them only managing
to recruit one part time level 3qualified
practitioner.
Shortly after the start ofthe second term, our manager
Gina and 2other
members
ofstaff handed
in their notice which meant the committee was
basically
hiring a whole new team! In April, Gemma Bloom came in as an
experienced,
passionate
Manager from a local Preschool
with lots ofnew
ideas, Lesley Beaumont came in as Deputy and SENCO with a wealth of
knowledge
and experience that brought a calming grounded
influence to
the setting.
Emma
Mills stayed with us as a practitioner
which gave great insight to
what had gone before. Bethany Prestidge
(who started when Gina was
still manager)
hit the ground
running
in the Summer term and took
responsibility
for a wonderful
graduation.
Then last but not at all least
Shannon
joined us with an eagerness to leam and nurture the children.
The new team faced Ofsted the second day ofthe Summer term and
kept our good rating, showing
Ofsted we had potential to do great things!
We had a successful
Coronation
celebration
with the Primary School
raising enough
money to extend the preschool garden. The extension
has been a great success and really adds to the outdoor ethos ofour
new staff team.
The children took part in Walk to School Week, Halloween
Quizzes,
Fireworks fundraising
and a very special Lion King performance!
Fairhaven
Garden visits continued
to be popular with children
participating
in scavenger
hunts,
pond dipping,
story-teliing
sessions, and
nature crafts, among other things.
Fairhaven
Primary School offered 5transition
sessions for those children
transfemng
to them, and we welcomed the reception teacher Mrs Fleet
on several occasions as she came to preschool to spend time with the
children here. The other primary school teachers made visits or
arrangements
to famiTiarise themselves
with their transitioning
children.
We said goodbye to 14children
who Iransiiioned
to Fairhaven
CofEand
1 other local primary school. We celebrated
our leavers with families
participating
in a lovely graduation
ceremony. Then a dance and snacks
after. All the children
participated
in their leavers' graduation
ceremony,
complete
with gowns and self-made
mortar boards. Parents were very
happy and thanked
the staff for such a beautiful
end to their preschool
journey.
