## **The Grove Pre School Playgroup** (Charity number 1042976) **TAR 2020** 

The Grove is a thriving committee run pre-school. The Committee is responsible for running The Grove as a small business. They employ staff, raise funds and ensure the playgroup can continue to provide a service to children and their families in our local community. 

The Grove Committee is a voluntary management committee which is a group of people who manage a community service, in this instance the playgroup. The committee is the employer of the staff at The Grove and is legally and financially responsible for the business. Voluntary management is required in order to have charitable status, it ensures the objectives and aims of the setting are met on a ‘not for profit’ basis. The outcomes for children are the main focus and any profit it reinvested back into the setting. 

We continue to have a good working relationship with our landlords, Dorset County Hospital. We have termly meetings with them, although due to COVID These have been put on hold. 

We take children with 15 hour, 30 hour and 2 year funding. Our waiting list still remains full although many families decided not to take up places in January 2020 due to COVID. 

We remained open with reduced hours and staff for keyworker children from March 23[rd] until June 2020 when we extended spaces to older children due to start school and offering 2 “ bubbles ” to keep children and staff safe. 

In April 2020 a staff member gained her level 3 Diploma for the Early years workforce and all staff are now qualified level 3 or above. 

All staff remain up to date throughout the year with required training (many training sessions were cancelled due to COVID but dates were extended to ensure staff were still able to work) and attend appropriate conferences and training to update their skills and knowledge of the Early Years. 

We continued with visits to the woods for forest school up to the start of March 2020 and stopped due to COVID guidelines. Visits to care homes have ended due to COVID. 

We keep parents up to date through regular emails and a closed Facebook Page, parents have been very supportive with new measures that were put in place due to COVID. 

We are a thriving Pre-school Playgroup with a waiting list and we budget accordingly to ensure sustainability for the future.
