## **Annual Trustees Report 2022-2023** ## Blofield Pre School Playgroup Blofield Pre School Playgroup is held in the local village hall. We operated as a four day preschool, term time only, on a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. We are responsible for the care and learning of 50 children aged between 2 and 4 years. We operate under the guidance of Ofsted and work within the Early Years Framework. We employ a full-time manager who is supported by a deputy, and we have an additional 6 childcare practitioners (a combination of full and part time staff). We also employ an administrator. We have staff qualified from a level 2 up to a teacher status. We have continued with our annual parents evenings and parent/carer coffee mornings to allow parents to get an insight into their children’s early years and offer an open platform for any questions to be asked. These are well received, and we will continue with these in the future. The income for the setting is from the Nursery Education Grant, Childcare vouchers, parental fees and fundraising. We have managed a few fundraising activities this year which have included two quiz nights, the smartie tube challenge, a pick a square for a pound game for the children to win a book, a Christmas photo shoot for all children and Christmas cards. All of which were shown amazing support from the local community. We believe we are a modern preschool offering a wide range of toys and equipment with full access to the Early Years Foundation stage curriculum. Our team are highly motivated to nurture each individual child and prepare them for their next step of starting school. Strong links are forged within the community, with the children meeting local emergency services, visiting the village post office, library and we have strong links with the village Primary school. As trustees we are committed to providing excellent standards of care and education to our children. We continue to support staff development and training and we work closely with our families, enabling us to offer the children a good start and help individuals grow and develop into confident learners whilst they are in our setting.
