Summary ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year
This has been an exciting period ofchange for Silsoe Pre-School with a
new Manager joining us in January 2022.We were very sad to see our
previous
Manager
move on but Tahmina
Haque, has arrived
with an
abundance
of enthusiasm
and a fresh vision for our, already outstanding,
Pre-School.
The early part ofthis period was a challenging
time due to the Covid-19
restrictions
but as the year has progressed
we have embraced
'returning
to normal'
when we have been advised
it is safe to do so. Silsoe Pre-
School did encounter a period ofenforced closure due to an outbreak
of
Covid-19 in May 2021 due to isolation guidelines
at that time.
Our staff have worked tirelessly
throughout
the year to close the gap that
has been left by the Covid-19 lockdowns
and to ensure that the children
have settled well in to our Pre-School routines.
Our team of qualified
professionals
ensure that every child's interests are followed and that all
the children
enjoy their learning
journey
with us.
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 Lower School. Our staff took part in
training
with the head ofearly years at Silsoe Lower to learn how we
could support
them with our teaching
in setting to ease the transition
to
Reception class.
Relationships
with other external professionals
strengthened
and we
received
positive praise that our setting was both proactive and inclusive.
Teaching
&learning
Through
a period ofchange for our setting as a new Manager joined us,
this transition
was handled
with care to cause minimum
disruption
to the
children
and the setting. Staff and management
work together to consider
the needs ofeach individual
child and to follow the child's interests
to
make their learning
journey personalised,
fun and effective.
The learning
environment
is planned
using a variety of either whole class
teaching sessions,
adult-led
activities and self-exploration
and play. We
encourage
the children to learn both inside and outside to maximise
the
learning
opportunities
available
to them.
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
up to date with safeguarding
training.
Management
ensure
staff knowledge
is current through
regular training,
staff meetings
and
discussions
and liaison with the local authority.
