| 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. |
