all faiths and backgrounds. There
were a total of 37 children in
attendance accessing 15 or 30
hours during the academic year
of 20/21.
During this academic year it was
necessary to arrange for
additional staff to support
children who presented with a
special educational need, making
our pre-school inclusive for all.
During the academic year
(20/21), we invested in an
additional shed for easy access
and increased storage facility.
The outside was beautifully
decorated to make it appealing
for children, staff and parents.
The whole playground area was
maintained and painted where
necessary.
We invested in more expensive
cars that can be used by all
children including those with
SEN.
The pre-school also arranged
activities such as the ‘living eggs’
to give all children appropriate
learning experiences.
Despite the pandemic, Noah’s Ark
children fundraised money for
the church’s Lenten projects in
20/21 as well.
