Bridge Village Playgroup

Chairpersons Annual Report 2019-2020

Playgroup has had a fantastic year due to our dynamic, innovative and nurturing team. The playgroup role stands at 21 and all members of staff have completed the relevant levels of their child protection training. First Aid was undertaken by all staff. Julia has completed her NVQ3.

Mary and the team continue to liaise with Tracy Butterfill, the setting improvement partner from KCC to ensure all necessary requirements for the setting are met. The level of training which our staff complete is a true reflection of their committed professionalism.

Due to COVID-19 playgroup has had to undergo some massive changes. The setting is complying with all current regulations and will continue to do so. All the staff and children have adapted so well to them all! Well done to all of you! The children have not been able to explore many of the opportunities that would have been previously explored such as a trip to the park or allotment and using the walking bus.

Fundraising plays a massive part of the playgroups year and unfortunately we have been unable to raise as much as we would have hoped. Before COVID hit the children managed to have a great nativity play, Christmas raffle and coffee morning which raised a massive £935. We enjoyed a valentine’s disco raising another £265.50. We all had a massive clear out and had a Bag2School collection which raised £92. We also took part in the Community Matters Tokens within the Waitrose store which raised us a whopping £303!

However, we have managed to rise a healthy amount of £1595.50.

During the earlier part of the academic year the children have continued to enjoy regular visits with feathers and scales in the form of chickens, rabbits and lizards along with our resident stick insects. Trips earlier in the year included quite an array of outings such as visiting Blean woods and

The children have been able to enhance their baking skills this year as we have had lots of baking coming home, this has included chocolate chip cookies, pizzas and home made cakes!

Simone, thank you for giving up your time to do the playgroup accounts. Simone liaises with Ackland Webb who finalise our accounts so a big thank you to David and his team.

Thank you to the Village Hall Committee who ensure that the village hall is kept in the lovely state it is in.

Finally, the biggest thank you is to Mary and her amazing team, Jane, Judith, Julia, Roz, and Francina. You are all truly marvellous in helping our children to grow, believe in themselves and become the children they are today.

Myself and the committee would like to wish all of the children that moved on to school this year all the very best of luck and we will miss you all.
