Mudeford Wood Playgroup Trustees' Report for the year ended 31 August 2022

2021 saw the pre-school reach full capacity for places for young people in the area, a huge achievement following on from 2020 and dealing with the covid restrictions. The dedicated team at the pre-school ensured the setting was a safe and welcoming environment for the young people to attend.

Following on from all the restrictions during covid, our priority in 2021 was to provide as many opportunities for the young people that had missed out in 2020. We were also conscious that many of the parents had experienced isolation, and had had a difficult year previously, so we worked hard to ensure there were opportunities for parents to meet other parents, as well as to see all the work that went on inside the setting. We sent regular newsletters, Tapestry updates and kept the notice board at drop off full of information to make sure everyone stayed well informed.

As well as our seasonal events (such as the Chinese New Year, Easter, Christmas etc) we ran Baby Ballet sessions, Krazy Kangas sensory sessions and also a football academy, to provide a variety of activities for the young people across the week.

The start of 2022 saw us reintroduce the ‘stay and play’ mornings (following on from the relaxing of the covid restrictions) where parents got a chance to come into the setting and for the young people to show them their work and where they enjoy playing.

In Sept 2021 we welcomed 3 new staff to the team to support us in the setting and allow us to run at full capacity.

Prior to this over the summer we bought and introduced some new play equipment into the setting, including a play house & kitchen area, a triple painting easel, a new colourful rug and we also built a new quiet area with a special area for speech and language interventions.

Without having to deal with covid restrictions we were now able to offer keyworker meetings in person, as well as running our popular ‘ready, steady, school’ to prepare the 3-4 year olds going up to school, we were also able to run several Chairty fundraisers (a Macmillian coffee morning, and pyjama day for Children in Need) and also bring back our Santa's grotto and Christmas fayre.

The year proved to be a successful year for the preschool setting, despite the challenges of a huge rent increase and certain instability regarding covid, we were able to provide a happy & thriving environment for the young people to attend.

Thank you to the dedicated staff team who work tirelessly to enrich and enhance the lives of the young people at the setting.

Felicity Portor, Chair of Trustees, on behalf of the Management Committee
