The beginning ofthis period was a challenging time for Silsoe Pre-School	The beginning ofthis period was a challenging time for Silsoe Pre-School
in the midst ofthe COVID-19 pandemic. Our setting was closed due to the national lockdown from 23" March 2020 until we were able to reopen with restrictions on 1"June 2020. Naturally many families were cautious
about returning to educational settings and so our occupancy was	much
lower than we would usually expect for this time of year and our children
in setting were predominately children of critical keyworkers.
Our staff worked tirelessly to ensure the setting was safe for both the
children and adults to return and for that, we are very grateful. We
reopened with limited staff, keeping children and adults in bubbles	to limit
contact wherever possible. We maintained excellent hygiene routines
and followed the guidance issued by the government throughout.
Early Years settings remained open during the national lockdown	in
January 2021.
OFSTED
During our previous Ofsted inspection in November 2018we were
graded as Outstanding. Our internal action plan highlights our passion for
continual improvement and ensures we maintain the quality ofteaching
and learning.
External relationships
Relationships with our feeder school remained excellent. Regular	liaison
meetings with the early years teachers and their SENCO ensured	that all
children had successful transitions to school, despite the fact that	there
were unable to follow our usual transition processes due to COVID-19
restrictions. Relationships with other external professionals strengthened
and we received positive praise that our setting was both proactive	and
inclusive.
Teaching & learning
Staff worked together to consider the needs and interest ofour cohort of
children. Together we plan the learning environment, whole class
teaching sessions and a selection of adult led activities both inside	and
outside. We ensure all learning activities are differentiated so that	we can
tailor the activity to each child's needs.
Staff keep 'Learning Journals' for each child and work together with
parents to share the child's achievements and next steps for
development.
Safeguarding
Keeping children safe remained a high priority during the year with	all
employees attending training including safeguarding KCSIE 2020,
Prevent and food handling courses.
Membership
Our occupancy for the Summer term was expected to be 83%.On
reopening after lockdown, itwas 25%.We were not able to welcome any
new starters as we usually would during our April admissions. There we
76 children on roll with 43 ofthese leaving us in July 20 to join Lower
School,
