## Registered Charity 1035183 **Managers Report AGM 2023** We started September 2022 with the highest number of children on roll for several years. The team was Myself, Katherine, Christine, Michelle, Pete & Sally, Claire as 1:1, we also welcomed Molly and Abby to the team due to the increased numbers and to cover Pete whilst he was off having knee surgery. We started in September by welcoming our existing and new children to the new term. We continued to have Lorna from Playball visit the group each Tuesday for the children to take part in sport skills and activities which continued to be really popular. September mainly involved settling our new children, spending lots of time in the garden, bud hunting, painting, sailing the ship and exploring. Sadly, the Queen passed away in September, so the children bought flowers from their gardens, and we visited the church to lay them in her memory. In October, we held out annual Harvest festival at St Mary Magdalen Church, the children told the story of The Gigantic Turnip, sang seasonal songs, and collected food items for local food banks. Becky from Barnardo’s visited the group to talk to the children about the importance of healthy eating and looking after our teeth. Rory the Dinosaur made an appearance too and the children had to fed him food that was health and good for him. We continued with Thursday nature group, where the children become nature explorers every Thursday morning. Each week we planned walks and visits around the local area to places such as the millennium field where the children explored and noticed their ever-changing seasonal environment such as acorns and leaves which they then would use these items to be creative. In November we were very excited to be able to reintroduce our first intergenerational sessions with Downs House, Residential home, since covid. We arranged to meet the residents of the home at the heath, to walk around the lake for Children in Need, whilst sharing children in need themed games such as Pudsey bingo. We used our environment to explore autumn and the natural changes as well as Bonfire Night, Remembrance, and of course Christmas. The children honoured the 2 minutes silence on Remembrance Day. The committee and staff started planning for the Christmas raffle by contacting local businesses asking for support with prizes. As always, December facilitated all of the wonderful activities that Christmas brings. A Christmas themed home area, Christmas cooking, craft, sensory play and much more! As part of our literacy curriculum the children wrote letters to Santa and once written, in small groups they walked to the post box to post them giving us another wonderful opportunity for the children to talk about what they could see and hear. Once again, Colin and his team from the Half Moon Sheet, kindly cooked us a traditional dinner. A yummy Christmas dinner was enjoyed by all! Again, we were able to host our Christmas nativity in true Stepping Stones style at the Church. Each of the children took on a small role and performed the story of Little Robin Red Vest a story that tells the true meaning of Christmas about giving and looking after others at times of need. As always, the children were fantastic! We finished for Christmas with our Christmas Party with food and entertainment provided by the staff. We were delighted to able to invite Father Christmas back to visit the children, he had a gift for each of the children and the children enjoyed meeting him! The children loved taking part in Secret Santa, choosing a gift for a loved one, wrapping it up, writing a tag and then bringing it home at the start of the holidays. In December we also had another intergenerational session at Downs House, the children participated in Christmas themed activities with the residents, enjoyed looking at their Christmas decorations and one child read a Christmas story to a resident. In January we took part in the Big Garden Bird Watch, celebrated Chinese New Year, we provided the children with a variety of materials, and they explored and learnt about this celebration. They experimented with themed rice, studied Chinese writing, and used their imagination in the Chinese themed home corner. And together created the most beautiful dragon. The children took turns to stand under the blanket and dragon head to create a life size dragon and experimented with their movement and sound to make the dragon come to life, as always it was truly magical. In February, Rebecca and Tash started publicising their Surrey Half Marathon they had both agreed to run in order to raise funds to replace the fencing around our garden. The children made and flipped pancakes for Shrove Tuesday, and we had a visit from the children at Sheet School to read and act out stories to the children as part of national story telling week. This group of children have shown a keen interest in the occupations of others, so we asked our families to come into the group to share their jobs with the children throughout February. We had visits from and learnt about Baristas, chimney sweeps, sign writing, Ministers, Anaesthetist, and we found out and got to taste all the products made by Graze, who one of our Mummy’s works for. As part of children’s mental health week, we introduced and practiced lots of mindfulness and yoga which was very popular, especially the yoga… As well as this we explored international women week and celebrated our own inspirational women’s week and once again invited our female family members into the group to share their amazingness! We had Mummy’s come in to cook with the children and se in to do some art. World Book Day this year was very well supported and throughout the week, we decided after the previous year’s success we again asked the children to decorate a toilet roll holder into their favourite character. The children had a great time talking about them and playing with the characters in various areas, we also had another visit form Sheet School so the older children could read to the younger ones. As part of science week, the children took part in various science experiments such as making volcanoes, observing what happens to an egg when placed in vinegar and making raisin dance. Once again for Mother’s Day, we were delighted to able to welcome our Mummy’s into playgroup across the week for a play, drink, and a slice of cake to celebrate them and show them how much we love them. We organised yet another intergenerational session at Downs House and the theme this time was for Red Nose Day and the children participated in a Olympic games with the residents. Easter was another opportunity to perform at the Church, where we hosted our Easter Parade. The children had created the most wonderful Easter hats and bonnets which they paraded through the church for families to see and then told their own spring version of We are Going on a Spring Hunt, followed by some Easter songs. Whilst all this was happening, the Easter bunny must have sneaked into the garden and the children all went on an Easter scavenger hunt, finding Easter pictures in exchange for some Easter treats. In March Rebecca and Tash completed their half marathon and raised £2120.00 to go toward our new fencing. TJ Landscapes, saw our Facebook post and kindly offered their labour for free to erect the new fencing. We were delighted when this happened over the Easter holidays! At the beginning of May the children were busy planning for the Kings Coronation by making decorations and preparing for a royal party and the big help out. As part of the big help out, the children, their families and the staff got stuck in cleaning the local play park to freshen it up and this was followed by a tea party with sandwiches and cakes! We were very lucky to have a visit from one of our dads who is a paramedic and his colleagues (an ex-parent) and the ambulance. The children spent the morning exploring the ambulance, learning about the equipment on board and the importance of our ambulance services role. Mental Health awareness week facilitated lots of opportunities and activities to explore our feelings, how to manage them and what makes us feel the way we do. We had another intergenerational session where the children played games with balloons, sang, and made fruit kebabs. The regular visits are proving very popular, and the children and residents are developing strong bonds, and everyone looks forward to the visits. In June, the committee organised a very successful family fun run that was well supported by our families as well as families form the village. As well as the run we had face painting, ice cream, cakes, and a very popular teddy tombola. We also introduced in June a day’s wild challenge, encouraging the children to get outside to take part in nature and adopt a love for the outdoors. So far we have had outdoor picnics, yoga, forest, sensory walks, tree rubbing, forest bathing, and we still have bird feeders and bug houses to make. With the sunny weather the children have chosen to be outside more always searching for bugs, playing with our new mud kitchen, taking care of the flourishing flower and vegetable garden, and exploring and developing friendships. The children have started picking their crops from the garden and have set up a little shop to sell the items grown to their families. The garden has been the height of activity with 2 Privet hawk moths, dragonflies, and lots of bees. It was lovely to be able to invite our Daddy’s and Granddad’s into playgroup for breakfast in celebration of Father’s Day, we treated them with sausage sandwiches and a hot drink as well as a play and an insight to all that we do at playgroup. As we reach the final term for some of our families, we have been remarkably busy practising for our sports day and leavers party and teddy bear’s picnic. These are all special events that we plan throughout the year, and is in addition to our everyday playing, exploring, socialising, building, dressing up, creating, reading, singing, leaning, being curious and inquisitive. I want to take this opportunity to thank our brilliant and enthusiastic Committee for the time they have given, hard work and support, without a committee, Stepping Stones would not be able to operate. I would also like to thank our families for their continued support and encouragement. Our families are what make Stepping Stones the incredibly special place that it is, and we are proud of the relationships we make with our families to allow us to have such a warm, naturing and loving playgroup for the children, but most importantly for choosing Stepping Stones. Finally, to the fabulous Stepping Stones team, who go above and beyond, are hardworking and very dedicated to make Stepping Stones the special place that it is!
