Page 2 Kings Heath Playcare Chair's Annual Report for AGM Covering September 2022 - August 2023 ## Trustees We have welcomed three new Trustees this year, Matthew Jones, Courtney Campbell and William Bradlow. Dan Moore has left the Trustees after more than three years of support, and we thank him for all his efforts. Recruiting new Trustees over the years has been challenging. We are in need of more trustees to ensure that Playcare can provide quality childcare and continue to run. The more parents who can join us and commit to Playcare, the lighter the load for us all and the more balanced our consensus decision can be. As a group we believe that the Chair of the Board of Trustees is required to have professional experience of an education or childcare setting, to be able to advise Playcare with an informed view. The current cohort of trustees do not have this experience, however we anticipate welcoming a new Trustee with the relevant experience in Autumn 2023. Our current interim chair is from a medical background. Your support is vital for Playcare to operate speak to any of us at the AGM or contact us or Jo Hill Scheme manager if you are interested in joining our board or would like further information. Your support is vital for Playcare to operate. We continue to work with school on an ongoing basis, with Mark Court and Adrian Broadbelt as key contacts, as well as with staff at the Community Centre. We thank them for their ongoing support. Page 3 Kings Heath Playcare Chair's Annual Report for AGM Covering September 2022 - August 2023 ## Term time and holiday usage In term time most places are full, and some sessions have waiting lists. ## Term time Usage for 2022/ 2023 We offer places to children in all year groups. The Infants operate from the school site including rooms in the house, the school halls and playgrounds. The Junior children meet in the mornings in the large school hall and they walk to the Community Centre in the afternoons Monday to Thursday. On Friday all children are accommodated at the school site. Current provision numbers, for Sep 22 — Aug 23, are per day 95 places in the mornings and 120 places in the afternoon each split over seven pods. We have waiting lists for certain year groups throughout the year and do our best to reduce these on an ongoing basis. Note: for Sep 23 — Aug 24 we anticipate increasing to 96 places in the mornings and 130 in the afternoon again each split over seven pods. ## Holiday usage Holiday provision continues to be popular, we offer have 40 Full Day places and the daily cost continues to be competitive with other holiday clubs in the local area. We welcome children from across the city, and have seen significant uptake from the wider south Birmingham area, with many children who attend several holiday sessions throughout the year. We are pleased to be able to open Playcare throughout the summer once again, after two years when the school site itself was closed for two weeks during the holidays. We received feedback with parents being pleased with our continued delivery of provision throughout the whole of the summer as this assisted working parents greatly and provided transition sessions for new children joining our provision in readiness of school in September. ## Community Centre The future of the Community Centre seems a lot more positive with more groups accessing and hiring it there seems to be more stability around its future. Jo has met with the management at the Community Centre where issues of concern were addressed. These included heating, internal and external lighting. Additionally, we discussed safety and access to the Centre during session times. Page 4 Kings Heath Playcare Chair's Annual Report for AGM Safeguarding and Ofsted Covering September 2022 - August 2023 Safeguarding continues to be our main priority and is always on the trustee’s agenda and the agenda when meeting with Jo or the coordinators. We take our role in safeguarding all the children who use Playcare as paramount to the service we offer. We are registered and inspected by Ofsted and information about this, including the full Ofsted report of our most recent inspection in July 2021 and ‘Met’ status, can be found on the scheme website. ## Designated Safeguarding Leads We had 3 DSLs with this being reduced to 2 when one of our coordinators left. Their training is updated periodically with further training being cascaded by the DSL’s to the staff to the team. Safeguarding being paramount in our setting has led to it being a weekly agenda item at full staff team meetings with concerns being recorded and acted upon in line with legislation and guidance. ## Risk assessments As part of ensuring the safety of all our children, we ask staff to share risk assessments with us periodically and to share information about how these are updated annually. Staff routinely complete risk assessments, these too are discussed at team meetings. ## Parent communication The website continues to be a key information point for our parents and families with all documentation regarding scheme made available here. We also use email to share our newsletter, key updates and managing place allocation via emails and our website. ## Policy update Policies have continued to be updated this year, with adaptation as required. As a board of trustees, it is our | role to support Jo as scheme manager to create, review and implement scheme policies. Policies are developed in collaboration with both the school and the Community Centre’s policies and procedures. Page 5 Kings Heath Playcare Chair's Annual Report for AGM Covering September 2022 - August 2023 ## ee Leanne Tattum is our treasurer. Playcare also have a bookkeeper, Sally Wainwright, in place to support the dayto-day management of parent balances, manage payments and cashflow in partnership with the Scheme Manager. All staff received a 6% pay rise in light of the current economic climate, along with a small Christmas bonus. In light of the increasing cost of living and on-going economic challenges, the academic year 2022/23 funds were increased to both the infant and junior provision for sourcing food and activities. To accommodate increasing costs, we increased fees to cover financial obligations of increases in rent, food cost and staff wages for the academic year 2022/23. Morning sessions increased to £4.60, afternoon sessions increased to £11.20, combined fees for both sessions to £14.00. We understand the impact that increasing fees can have on scheme users, we took the increase of fees into careful consideration. This enables us to ensure staff were fairly remunerated and sufficient funds were available for healthy snacks alongside activities for the children in our care, whilst also safeguarding the future of scheme we have had to make these increases. ## GDPR — General Data Protection Regulation We have a policy which covers all issues around GDPR. Staff have worked hard on ensuring that Playcare is compliant with the regulations. Emily West is our link trustee and we thank her for her support in this. Page 6 Kings Heath Playcare Chair's Annual Report for AGM Covering September 2022 - August 2023 ## In the next 12 months We look forward to another successful year for Playcare, accommodating the families of KHPS during term time and continuing to offer competitively priced holiday care for families from the wider area. In addition to this, we will continue our use of Noodle Now, the online training subscription provision for staff. Topics we anticipate covering are; - . Children’s Mental Health, Children experiencing Bereavement, Understanding Children’s Emotions, Working in Partnership with Parents, Staff Mental Health. - : Changes in the Early Years Foundation Stage, Encouraging positive behaviour, Safeguarding & Child Protection, British Values. - ‘ Refresher for Designated Senior Leads in Safeguarding, Health & Safety, Risk Assessment completion, Fire Safety Training. - First Aid and Safeguarding will be carried out as part of the induction for new staff with regular update training being accessed when available and necessary.
