## **The Grove Pre School Playgroup** (Charity number 1042976) **TAR 2021** 

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 have continued to fundraise though different means during COVID by doing raffles and toy sales to raise money to put towards having our back garden redone. 

We continue to have a good working relationship with our landlords, Dorset County Hospital. We have termly meetings with them, and despite their redevelopment plans we remain firmly on them. Our termly meetings were put on hold due to COVID but we remained in contact through emails. 

We take children with 15-hour, 30 hour and 2-year funding. Our waiting list still remains full and some children weren ’ t offered a place due to being able to take limited number during COVID. 

We remained open, however some parents decided to keep children home when UK COVID numbers started to increase. 

Over the Easter holidays we had a parent redo our back garden to make it more usable and inviting for the children and also to provide a safe place to carry out our forest school sessions. 

In July 2021 a staff member retired and we took on a part time member of staff. 

All staff remain up to date throughout the year with required training and attend appropriate conferences and training to update their skills and knowledge of the Early Years. 

We assessed how best to carry out our forest school sessions and decided to continue with sessions but carry these out in pre-school to make the best use of the new back garden. 

We keep parents up to date through regular emails, termly newsletter 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.
