Para 1.20 | The playschool provides early years care for children aged nine months to five and as a part of that offers support to their families. The playschool has staff trained to support the deprived area that we are situated in. Our chair is a trained counsellor and safeguarding lead in schools in the area, this brings this vital work to the forefront of our agenda. Our trustees spend time regularly within the playschool, supporting practitioners and families. They monitor the work of the playschool to ensure that it meets the objectives of the charity as a whole. This year enabled us to bounce back from Coronavirus. We have spent an increasing amount of time supporting families to rebuild lives after the pandemic and supporting a lot of families with mental health. The children have also needed a higher level of support. |
