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,| |had regard|tothe guidance||even getting to see inside the engine.| |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.| ## |~|~||s

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.| ## ## ## ## ## |||||Unrestricted|Restricted|Endowment|Total|Prior year| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |||||E|E|E|E|E| |A1 Receipts||||||||| |Subscriptions
