Sale and Davys Playgroup
Annual Statement - April 2024/25 Review
Introduction: We are delighted to present the annual statement for Sale and Davy's Playgroup for the year 2024/25. This statement reflects the achievements, activities, and impact of our charitybased day nursery throughout the year.
Staff and Team: We are grateful for the hard work and dedication of our staff. Our team has remained stable throughout the year, with five (level 3) staff members providing commitment to a stable and supportive working environment. However, one of our pre-school practitioners has decided to move on in her career, and we wish her the very best in her future endeavours. As a result, we have recruited a new member of staff with a Level 3 in Childcare and Education. Our goal is to have the position filled and new staff member in place by the beginning of March to ensure continuity and maintain the high-quality care we provide.
Enrolments: In September 2024, we started the year with 23 children on roll. Throughout the year, we have seen positive growth in our enrolments, and we anticipate an increase to 30+ children by April 2025. We are pleased to see continued interest from parents, with pending enquiries for new starters. The growth of our playgroup is a testament to the positive reputation we have established within the community.
Facilities and Collaborations: Sale and Davy's Playgroup is situated in a small village hall, offering a cosy and nurturing environment for our children. We are grateful for the support and collaboration of the Village Hall Committee, who have been instrumental in enhancing our facilities. Last year’s improvements include the installation of a wall-mounted pull-down changing mat and new toilet seats with children's inner fitments incorporated. This has had a positive outcome for our day to day running of keeping health and hygiene to its highest standards.
Activities and Engagement: Throughout the year, our children have participated in numerous activities that have enriched their learning and development. Some highlights include hosting our own 'sports day' on the local Village Community Park, organising stay and play days where parents were encouraged to attend for tea, cakes, and play, celebrating special occasions such as Christmas jumper day with a visit and presents from Santa, engaging in Easter Bonnet making, parades, and Easter eggs, and participating in events like World Book Day (dress up). We have also arranged visits from professionals representing different trades, providing our children with unique learning experiences. This year, playgroup is excited to focus on building stronger connections and engaging more actively with Sale and Davys Primary school and the wider community
Improved Financial Outlook and Future Security: We are pleased to report that our financial outlook for the year has improved. Through diligent cost mitigation efforts, the generous support of our parents and private organisations, and the potential for additional funding indicated by the Government and Local Council, we have been able to navigate the rising costs of living and strengthen our financial position. This additional funding entitlement expansion in September 2025, allowing the two-year-olds to receive 30 funded hours instead of 15, this will provide a positive boost to playgroups financial stability but also provide a more secure future for Sale and Davy's Playgroup.
Community Impact and Future: In an environment where many smaller Playgroup settings have closed, we are proud to have provided continuity and longevity for Sale and Davy's Playgroup. We continue to work closely with the village school, fostering strong relationships and occasionally involving our children in Primary School events. We are dedicated to meeting the needs of our community by providing a nurturing environment that allows parents to work or train, confident in the knowledge that their children are well-cared for.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the year 2024/25 has been and continues to be a period of growth and accomplishment for Sale and Davy's Playgroup. With positive enrolment growth throughout the year, we have continued to provide exceptional care, education, and service to our families. We are honoured to be nominated for ‘Preschool Education provider of the year’ and the 'Customer Excellence of the Year' award in the 'Lots for Tots Awards'. This nomination is a testament to our preschool education and commitment to customer excellence and the positive impact we make in the lives of the children and parents we serve.
We extend our heartfelt wishes for success to our July 2025 leavers as they embark on their journey to school. We remain dedicated to our mission of providing a stimulating and nurturing environment. We eagerly anticipate the positive impact that additional funding and the awards nomination will have on Sale and Davy's Playgroup.
