This has been an exciting period ofchange for the Pre-School with our
new Manager,
who joined
in January 2022, implementing
many positive
changes
including
EYFSOpen sessions, grandparents
afternoons,
a
whole setting summer
trip and moving
our setting on to online journals to
make instant access to their child's Pre-School day easier for our
families.
We have also introduced
home projects which are sent termly to our
families
with fun activities the children
can complete at home with the
help oftheir parents
such as flower pressing
in the summer
and autumn
treasure
collecting
in the Autumn.
The team continue to ensure that every child's interests are followed
and
that all the children
enjoy their learning
journey
with us.

our passion for
continual
improvement
and ensures we maintain
the quality ofteaching

External relationships
Relationships
with our feeder school remain excellent. Regular liaison
meetings
with the early years teachers and their SENCO ensured
that all
children
had successful
transitions

positive praise that our setting was both
proactive
and inclusive.

the needs and interests ofeach child to ensure their

child and make their learning
journey personalised,
fun and effective.

teaching sessions,
adult-led
activities and self-exploration
and play. We
encourage
the children
to learn both inside and outside and through
our
continuous
provision
maximise
the learning
opportunities
available
to
them.
Staff keep learning
journals
