Trustees Report for Year Ending 31st August 2021

AIMS:

Bredon Playgroup is a community pre-school run by experienced staff and managed by a committee of parents. We are self-financing and a registered charity. Our aim is to provide:

Quality and consistency so that every child makes good progress and no child gets left behind.
A secure foundation through learning and development opportunities which are planned around the needs and interests of each individual child and are assessed and reviewed regularly.
Partnership working between practitioners and with parents and/or carers.
Equality of opportunity and anti-discriminatory practice, ensuring that every child is included and supported.

Whilst doing this we offer a safe and stimulating environment for children to learn through play. Children need to learn to express themselves, to develop their skills and to be socially confident. Building these skills we enable children to enter school confidently and enthusiastically.

OBJECTIVES:

Our key objectives for the year 2020/21 included:

Managing the future uncertainty due to continuing restrictions of the Covid pandemic.
Review fundraising abilities in line with government restrictions.
Expand the offer of hours to Pre-school children to ensure retention of staffing levels.
Staff training for EYFS changes to be implemented from September 2021.
Continued investment into the training budget to allow staff to pursue personal development.
Active recruitment of new committee members
Active promotion of playgroup to ensure preschool numbers for September 2021.
Close management of expenditure on possible reduced income.
Managing the reserves fund within the restraints of the policy.
Ensure full use of government financial support where eligible.

REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES & ACHIEVEMENTS:

Survived another tricky year where Covid 19 pandemic restrictions were still in place for the most part and early years settings expected to stay open during the Spring term (January 2021) whilst schools remained closed.
Despite the closures of 2020, all children who entered school in September 2020 have settled well, reflecting a successful transition process under very difficult circumstances.
With gathering restrictions in place, the biggest fundraising event of the year became a virtual Christmas show (2020) supported by a successful raffle.
Managed and implemented new policies, procedures and risk assessments in line with the developing Covid situation and guidelines.
Virtual training sessions on the new EYFS guidelines were attended by all staff.
New Trustees appointed in July 2022.

FUTURE PLANS:

Our plans for the year 2021/22 include:

Continued review of the offer of hours to Pre-school children to ensure retention of staffing levels.
Take advantage of the availability of online training to allow staff to pursue personal development.
Continued recruitment of new committee members
Close management of expenditure on possible reduced income.
Managing the reserves fund within the restraints of the policy.
Focus on staff CPD and training, in particular safeguarding, teaching and educating
Agree a staff succession planning

Our principle source of income is fees supported by fundraising. Fund raising activities were limited this year only contributing 2% to the total income. Activities were massively affected by Covid restrictions, therefore given the circumstances, to match the fundraising efforts overall of the previous year was a great achievement and testament to all the effort and hard work that the Playgroup Team and Committee put in.
