## Managers Report for AGM 21.9.21 

My report this year will be quite short in comparison to other years. Due to COVID19 we have been very limited in what we have been able to achieve sadly the virus has prevented us from taking the children out and about on trips like we would normally do but I sincerely hope that in the forthcoming year we might be able to accomplish at least one or two outings with the children obviously this will depend on what happens with the virus. We have however really focussed on the environment within the pre school and have made some significant changes to the layout and how resources are displayed and presented to the children. We have seen the impact of this on the children with them gaining independence and autonomy over their play. 

We have discovered some other changes made as a result of Covid have also been beneficial for the children and parents. We have chosen to remain working in bubbles even though Covid restrictions are beginning to lift. We have noticed that the children settle so much better when in the smaller bubbles and that key persons are able to spend quality time with the children. Also we have chosen to continue to let children in and out of the setting through the gates rather than in the foyer. We feel this is safer with the risk of the virus still present and also it has enabled staff to spend time talking to parents about their child’s day. 

We have some changes of staff which has been disappointing however the staff that are loyal and hard working have really pulled together and ensured that every child has had the most amazing experience despite staffing changes and the impacts of Covid. I would like to say a huge thank you to the staff and as always you have been amazing. 

I have been working away on the changeover from St Chad’s Pre School to Coniston Early Years Centre and hope that this process will soon be completed. 

I would like to thank the committee for their continued support throughout this year and hope that in the forthcoming year we can continue with the necessary changes and continue to build and grow our setting from strength to strength. 



Chairs report for AGM 21.9.21 

My report is very brief as due to COVID and all the restrictions and difficulties that this has bought I have been unable to get into the pre school as I had hoped to do. 

I have tried to support Sarah and her staff via remote means and I look forward to hopefully being able to actually get into the pre school in the forthcoming year as we start to see restrictions lifting. 

I would like to thank all of the staff for their continued hard work and perseverance despite COVID19
