|Summary|ofthe main||We have had yet another
busy and fulfilling at Croft Playgroup.|
|achievements
ofthe charity
during the year|||In May 2023 we had our Ofsted inspection
and were very pleased to
receive a 'Good' rating, with our Leadership
and Management
area|
||||reaching the 'Outstanding'
standard.|
||||As always, the children
made great progress throughout
the year and the|
||||older children were ready for school when they left us at the end ofthe|
||||summer
term. We secured an Educational
Health and Care Plan for an|
||||individual
with complex medical needs which ensured
they would have|
||||the support they required
when they transitioned
to school.|
||||We held a school readiness
evening where we invited parents
in to|
||||discuss what
it means to be 'ready for school'.
We received great|
||||feedback to say how useful this was for parents,
and that
it took the|
||||uncertainty
out ofthe sometimes
overwhelming
experience ofsending a|
||||child to school.|
||||Our apprentice
keyworker
successfully
completed
their course and|
||||became a fully qualified
member ofour team.|
||||We were thrilled to receive a grant from Nationwide
Building Society.|
||||This paid for the whole team to undertake
Forest School training,
to help|
||||us understand
how we can use our amazing
garden and nearby
local|
||||wood to further engage with the children
and extend their play.|
||||We held a picnic in our garden for the King's coronation,
inviting
all our|
||||children
and their families tojoin us. The children
made flags to decorate|
||||the building
and garden.|
||||We were fortunate
enough to book sessions for the children
with the|
||||wonderful
Dinky Ponies (two very patient miniature
ponies who are happy
to stand and be petted), and also with Zoolab (who bring exotic insects|
||||and creatures
in to the setting for the children to see and touch).|
