Summary ofthe objects ofthe
charity set out in its
governing document

			This has been a difficul academic year for Playgroup, the community, and the
			country. The country entered National Lockdown due to coronavirus pandemic
			in March 2020, leaving Playgroup with no alternative to close Its doors. When we
			re-opened in June, we only had 6children who wanted to attend, meaning we
			were only able to open two mornings per week. Two staff members ran these
			mornings.
			Staff were furloughed on full pay to show our respect and commitment to them
			in such difficult times. We continued our own CPD by making use ofthe online
			training, 'Noodle Now' to keep up to date with sector changes and understand
			issues such as children's mental health. The committee has again proved a
			struggle, with us still actively looking for new committee members. We are
			advertising through Community First for Yorkshire, Ryedale Mumbler, in house
			advertising, and have also been in touch with the Early Years Alliance for advice.
			It's such a shame that playgroup is unable to recruit new committee members
			but is still growing in numbers.
			The children have enjoyed lots ofsensory activities since September, exploring
			ice, shaving foam and coloured rice, filling and emptying containers, exploring
Summary ofthe main activities undertaken for the public benefit ln relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have			early science with exploding volcano's, practicing fine motor skills and lots of outdoor play in the newly cut out den. We continued to concentrate on SL&C, we all received 'Early Talk Boost' training to help us as we delivered the 'Grow and Leam' project. Trips to the library and local Monday market to choose fruit and vegetables, listening walks and looking round the railway station, spotting platform numbers, recognising sings and learning how to cross the road safely,

issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)			By Christmas, the Playgroup again had one staff member on long term sick, returning in February 20 and both staff and children offwith a cold/fiu bug
			which meant numbers were reduced.
			We held an In*ouse Christmas party on the last day ofterm, with party food,
			balloons, and party games. We also raffled a Christmas hamper to raise funds for
			Playgroup.
			From February, we followed advice and began limiting certain resources, began
			hand washing when the children arrived and left and through the obvious
			transitions. We removed resources which couldn't be easily cleaned and may
			allow Covld 19to spread.
			This period of uncertainty from February half term until the announcement of
			National Lockdown was particularly stressful for the team, as measures
			increased to keep the playgroup family safe the Playgroup team handled the
			situation with sensitivity and professionalism continuing the learning and
			development ofthe children and allowing parents to feel reassured.
			The charity trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the
			guidance on public sector benefit published by the Charity Commission in
			exercisin their owers and duties.

Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity			This year has been slightly differen due tothe National Lockdown, most ofour children did not return in June and instead went straight to the School Nursery.
during the	year		This year has been a mix ofemotions, we are pleased all our families and team
			remained safe and well, it also left us reflecting on the missed opportunities for
			all, children missing out on valuable learning experiences, developing their PSED,
			SL&C, being able to visit their nursery class during transitions, parents missing
			out on sharing these experiences, coming into the setting and being able to
			meet and form friendships with other families who they will travel though school
			with.
			Several staff members have updated their paediatric first aid, one member of
			staff has commenced her Level 3 Early Years Educator and all staff have received
			training on I Can's Early Talk Boost.
			Lastly the team not seeing a close to the academic year, being able to watch the
			children grow and learn and become ready for the next stage ofthe school
			journey. Memories will vary with different experiences and challenges, but we
			hope everyone has valued the time we had with our families and will be able to
			look back on it fondly.
			Playgroup survived where many other businesses dldn't, and we will be forever
			rateful to our families and commun who continue to su ort us.
