## **The Grove Pre School Playgroup** (Charity number 1042976) **TAR 2022** 

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 through Christmas and Easter raffles and toy sales to raise money to put towards new equipment and toys for the playgroup, we were also given the opportunity again to have a raffle at the local food and craft fair which raised valuable funds. 

We continue to have a good working relationship with our landlords, Dorset County Hospital. We meet regularly to talk about the development of the Hospital site and we will remain where we are, they have shown us their future plans for development on the site and they have always been very considerate in including us within these. They have also produced information leaflets for new parents to reassure them about the future of The Grove. The current lease is looking to be extended for a longer term and this will enable the Preschool to apply for grants to make updates to the Preschool, specifically the outside space 

We take children with 15-hour, 30 hour and 2-year funding. We are a thriving Pre-school Playgroup with a waiting list and we budget accordingly to ensure sustainability for the future. 

At the end of July 2021, the Deputy left and we took on 3 new part time staff who were starting after the summer holidays. 

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 keep parents up to date through regular emails, termly newsletter and a closed Facebook Page.
