- Nailsworth Playgroup AGM 2024 Chair Report
I firstly wanted to say a big thank you to you all for coming to the AGM without the support and enthusiasm of you all the running of the playgroup wouldn’t be possible.
Especially thanks to Vic and the rest of the staff, who all work so hard and ensure all the children thrive and have a great time. This year has been a busy year, the extended hours in the little room have continued to be a success and has allowed us to create a permanent position for Shannon who was previously on a fixed term contract. We have also recruited 2 bank staff members. Coming up we have our First Aid training for all staff members.
Our fundraisers this year have been very popular, the Quiz nights continue to have a lot of support and our Bingo night in the spring was also a great success. I hope we can continue these fun events into this new year ahead allowing us to continue to fund new items and improvements.
This year we have made a big effort to improve the aesthetics of the playgroup, in particular the little room and the outside areas. Over the summer holidays the committee and staff redecorated the little room, painted the fences, generally tidied up the garden and built 2 new mud kitchens. Unfortunately we did run out of time slightly but endeavour to finish these tasks over the next few months. Next on the list is a summer house for the pre school room and a mural on the outside of the little room.
The children continue to enjoy visits from the local community such as the dentist and learning about science with curious kids. We also had a visit from some baby lambs in the spring and little kickers who teach football which the children all thoroughly enjoyed.
I’m looking forward to the year ahead and am sure we can continue to be a thriving part of the local community. Lastly I’d like to say thank you to the outgoing committee and to warmly welcome our new members.
Thank you
Freya
