Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity			We ran 342 pre-school sessions of3hours and 2.5 hours each reaching 40 children and 40families.
during the	year		Also ran 38baby and toddler sessions of2.5hours each this year,
			reaching approximately 45 children per week.
			The sessions and children were less this year due to COVID closures
			and restrictions. Usually 114baby and toddler sessions.
			Due to COVID our groups did not totally recommence until May 2021.
			The Pre-school children have enjoyed many activities this year including
			a coach trip to Ashton Court, where they played, had lunch and found	out
			more about nature and animals.
			We have had trips to our local parks for play sessions and sports day,
			when restrictions permitted.
			Regular trips to our own allotment where the children take part in
			gardening all year round —weeding, digging, planting and harvesting,	did
			not take place this year due to COVID restrictions.
			We studied lots ofdifferent topics throughout the year including Mr
			Men —Shapes 8 Colours; Harvest; Autumn; FireworkslBonfire Night;
			Remembrance Day Christmas; Gross Motor Skills; Chinese New
			Year; BookWeek; Pirates; Easter 8 Spring; Caterpillars &Butterflies;
			First Aid; Emotions; Euros 2020 and Circus.
			We have raised funds for other charitable organisations e.g. Sports Relief
			and Children in Need. We held a MacMillian Coffee Morning
			The children have weekly P.E.sessions where they eventually get
			changed into full P.E. kit. Once aweek we also have a trained P.E.
			professional come in to do a session with the children. Again these were
			restricted this year due to COVID restrictions.
			Although we were unable to do our usual transitional visits to schools	we
			still tried to prepare the children for school as much as was possible and
			took the children tothe outside space oftheir new schools.
