Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

September 19 to March 20 Children ’ s numbers increased throughout the year, with a lot of two year olds starting. Our parent and toddler group is very well patronised.

We continue to visit the local primary school on Wednesdays and the pre-school children are able to have a hot school dinner, which is very popular. After lunch we join the school children for games in the playground, followed by a story with the reception children.

Our annual Christmas Bingo raised a lot of funds for the pre-school

March 20 to August 20 Due to Covid 19 the pre-school was closed until June 20. We reopened with a small number of children, which increased over the weeks. We were unable to have any trips but the children had a fun time on their last day.
