HOLLAND PARK PRE-SCHOOL
APRIL 2023- MARCH 2024
Holland Park Pre-school has once again had a challenging year of highs and lows.
We have had a busy year in tenns of the children's learnin& and a very bu
curriculum packed full of attivities and celebrations. We have however once
again had an extremely tight budget to respect and for yet another year we
faced increases in our running costs.
The children participated in various activities around the month of Ramadan and
Eid. We talked about Ramadan and Eid during Circle Time and some children
told us about their families and how they obser4ed different rituals and
traditions during this time. We read books at story time and the children also
made Eid cards to take home.
In the run up to Easter the children made Easter Bonnets and participated in
other Easter linked activities. We talked about Easter during Circle Time and
read different story books. Our yearly Easter Egg Hunt was great fun. The
children also enjoyed the fancy dress Easter Party in which they got to wear the
bonnets they had made.
We celebrated St Georges Day at the end of April the children rnade red roses
out of tissue paper and drew and coloured in St Georges Cross flags.
Everyone was extremely excited and very much looking forward to the up-and-
coming Coronation of King Charles 111 on the 6 May 23. The King had said that
he wanted his Coronation to be as sustainable as possible and an emphasis to
be placed on diverstty and inclusion. We were so happy to see many faiths and
people included throughout the occasion. Our muhi faith and multi diverse
setting fek very much included. The children participated in a variety of
activities. We also organised our own Pre-school Coronation Party, we made our
decorations and Parents contributed thefood and fun. Many of ourfamilies took
part in The Big Lunch on the following day.
Our Healthy Eating Workshop and Teddy Bears Picnic was once again a great
success. This year we had a good turnout of parents in attendance for both
activities. The parents and children prepared vegetable and fruit salads that we
ate on the day, and they were also able to take some healthy snacks home with

them. Healthy eating is a themethat we actively promotethroughout the school
year. We continue to encourage parents to prepare healthy packed lunches, so
crisps, chocolates, sweets, and fizzy drinks are not permitted to be included in
them. We are also a Nut Free Pre-school.
We continued this theme for our Teddy Bears Picnic; however, we did make an
exception for the homemade Honey Cake.
Our regular Summer Term Butterfly Garden was a huge success, this is linked to
our theme of The Cycle of Life and givesthe children the opportunity to observe
the different stages and processes of growth in real time. each day.
Once the butterflies were fully developed, we took them outside into the park
and released them. This is always a magical experience for us all.
During the Summer Temi we always dedicate a great deal of time to preparing
our older children for their transition into Primary Schools in September. We
discussed this transition daily during Circle Time activities, giving the children an
opportunity to express their feelings and or concerns. We engaged in role play
attivities and read story books, we also encouraged parents to buy or borrow
books on this subject.
During June we focused on World Ocean Day and did a lot of work around the
subjett of protetting our Oceans from different types of pollution. The children
learnt about plastic pollution and what we can do to help.
This yearfs theme during National Week of Play at the end of June was about
how play can help us build positive connettions and break down barriers,
whether cuftural, generational, societal, or otherwise. Our children, parents and
staff came together to celebrate different approaches to play.
On the 22nd of June we Celebrated the 75th anniversary of the arrival of the
passengers of the Empire Windrush in the UK. We celebrated the contributions
and achievements of the Windrush generation and their descendants.
The older children were able to participate in the Windrush suitcase attivity and
Windrush stamp design activity.
Towards the end of Term, we held our regular Summer Parent Evening.
This is a parent only event and gives parents a window into their child's
pre-school day.

Parents looked at their child's work on display and spoke to Staff about their
child's development and progress. It also gave parents an opportunity to meet
and connett With other parents. We had a great turn out and a marvellous time
was had by all.
The Summer Term ended with our Graduation Day and end of Terrn Party.
This is always a bittersweet time for us. we are always so proud of the children
and their achievements, however it is always a little sad to see them leave.
We returned to school in September for the start of the Autumn Term and New
School Year. We welcomed our new children and their families.
We are very fortunate to be inside the amazing grounds of Holland Park where
we are surrounded by nature and woodland, and endless possibilities and
opportunities to learn.
September also raised the issue of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete
(RAAC), used in the building of many schools. Fortunately. our school building
was not affected by this.
Once again, the Autumn Term brought rises in our running costs. Suppliers
increased their prices; extra curticula staff increased their fees and ener
suppliers, bills increased. Having raised our fees by £1 an hour in January 2023
to remain sustainable we found it necessary to raise them again by £1 an hour
at the beginning of the Spring Term January 2024.
Running costs had once again increased so managing budgets was and is a very
challenging task, by carefully managing our available funds we once again found
a way forward.
During October the children participated in Black History Month attivities.
Our focus this October was on Bessie Coleman, the first African - American
woman to hold a pilot licence and Maya Angelou poet and civil rights activist.
October ended with the children's Halloween fancy dress party.
During November and December. we partiapated in various activities based on
celebration5 and festivals around the world calendar.

Towards the end of temi, we held our Autumn Term parents evenin& it was very
well attended by parents. We also gave the parents that were not able to attend
the opportunrty to see the displays during one of our morning sessions.
We came back to Pre-school in January at the start of a New Year and Spring
Term. We implemented the £1.00 hourly increase and hoped that this would be
enough for us to remain sustainable.
Our children participated in a variety of activities for the Chinese New Year 2024
the Zodiac Year of the Dragon. They made lantems and made a very large red
Dragon which was displayed on one of our big display boards.
The theme for British Science Week 2024 was Time,.
It was also the weeks 30th Anniversary. The children enjoyed many of the various
special attivitie5 and events.
The children continue to benefft from our extracurricular attivities. Four weekly
sports lessons provided by Yahya from LIThLE KICKERS, Rob from THE LONDON
SPORTS TRUST and Freddie from SMALL SPORTS and Weekly Music &
Movement, Drama and Yoga sessions with Rona.
Holland Park Pre-school Staff and committee would like to extend a huge thank
you to everyone that has worked tirelessly alongside us and supported us in
multiple ways throughout the year. Each year brings new obstacles and
challenges however your dedication to helping us has made it possible for us to
keep moving forward.
Thank You
