During the year, we lIned two more staf f and one Apprentice, one returned f rom Maternity leave. The year has been a very busy one with the pre-school children enjoyin9 the Kixx sessions on a Thursday throughout the term. This is an outside agency that comes in and supports the children with their ball skills, promoting listening, teamwork etc. We have taken part in the annual Flower Festival at Long Sutton Church, out theme being "Teddy Bears". We have also taken wt in the East Midlonds Britain in Bloom competition where the judges gave us a wsitive report and were interested in what we have to of fer the children. The children had done a lot of planting and growing to help them understand where their food comes f rom. The children have enjoyed having the eggs and incubator to watch the chicks hatch.. this is always a very positive experience as they get to handle the chicks and learn the lif e cycles and how to care for living creatures. They also eXperIend caterpillars changing into butterf lies and watchin9 the ladybird's life cycle. We have h¢Jd a visit f rom the Fire Engine which the children thoroughly enjoyed. There have been many walks around the 9rounds surrounding the nursery. lookin9 at the natural world, collectin9 things like conkers. cones etc to use back in nursery. The photographer has been in twice durin9 the year and this is always a good fundraising project although a little hectic on the days they are in. We arranged a sponsored conker hunt to raise money, this is always a good fundraiser totally over a thousarKI pounds.
The staf f have undertaken numerous training session throughout the year i ncluding SENDCO training, Transitions and Partnership meetings, Prevent and other safeguardi ng courses, Orol Health, Sa9e as well as Manager brief ings and tWOrkS. PAT testing is carried out annually along with the Fire EKFinguishers, Alarms (both f ire and intruder) and the Legionella checks and Risk Assessments Throughout the year. Parents Evening/meetings have been taking place, especially for the children moving to big school in September, supporting parents in helping their child to be school ready. The Holiday club has been in operation durin9 all school holidays and was particularly busy some weeks in the summer. The children are able to make new f riends as well as meeting old friends f rom tefore they went of f to dif ferent reception classes. In all this has been a very busy year, the staff have worked really hard to ensure the best outcomes for all of the children in their care. The f unding was introduced for babies the term after the child was nine months so this meant more spaces to cover the demand. The committee is being supported by Dinky Ones to make the change over to a CIO, this is still in progress and meetings have been hekl with all parents who have a9reed to the change.
