Domino Preschool Chair’s Annual Report 21 October 2021
It has been an extraordinary year. Managing COVID anxieties and restrictions and keeping the setting open has been an enormous task. A huge thank you to our dedicated staff for continually going the extra mile to keep Domino running.
Crisis also brings opportunities though. As parents were unable to access the setting because of Covid restrictions, we decided to implement the Tapestry online learning journal, giving a window into the wonderful world of Domino. Key to this being possible was the church’s agreement to install wifi provision accessible indoors and outside.
We were also able to roll out an expanded Forest School provision that helped minimise risks of infection by having two full days entirely in the garden. This has been a popular move amongst staff, parents and not least the children. Again, we offer thanks to the church for allowing us to expand these activities in the garden.
A major change was the renaming of the setting, from Domino Nursery to Domino Pre-School, more accurately describing the age range in the setting.
We are very grateful to the Wrights Clock Land CIO Fund that has enabled us to fund an after-school music session, an after-school forest school session and we are preparing to appoint a Reading Ambassador to promote literacy, book sharing, and closer links with the village library.
Thank you to parent Mark D for coming in and taking a wonderful set of informal photographs of the children in setting, another powerful link for parents to see how their children were flourishing in Domino. Also to the group of staff and parents who came together for a garden painting session to restore wooden items.
And in all of this staff were able to absorb and plan for the EYFS curricular reforms.
Many thanks to our departing trustees who worked so hard to support staff in keeping the session not only ticking over but flourishing. Our pupil numbers are higher than they have ever been, and we have been able to support local parents when a nearby provision was faced with closures.
We have a record number of new trustees stepping forward and I’m sure we will be able to build on this year’s huge successes as COVID restrictions ease.
