Registered Charity No. 1086252
WELCOME
Welcome to the Pre-school’s 20th Annual Report. This report covers the period 1[st] March 2020 - 28[th] Feb 2021.
The purpose of this report is to provide you with information regarding the pre-school, to keep you informed about its development over the past year and our plans for the future.
This report is divided into the following sections:
Section 1: Reports: 1.1 Chair’s Report 1.2 Leader’s Report 1.3 Finance & Fundraising Report Section 2: Aims of the Pre School Section 3: People: 3.1 The Staff Team 3.2 The Committee Section 4: Key Developments Section 5: Future Plans
SECTION 1: REPORTS
1.1 CHAIR’S REPORT – Vassilisa Noble
This past year has been one of many ups and downs and as you can all imagine a lot of new and unforeseeable challenges.
We have had a very positive start to our Pre-School year, our pre-school numbers are up and we have many new starters to replace our OWLS who moved up in September 2020. This trend is set to continue as we look forward to the Autumn Term and welcoming many more new children and their parents.
To carry out the responsibilities of a Chair would be impossible without the support and guidance from the pre-school leader, Tina Downing and her wonderfully hard working and enthusiastic team. There have been numerous challenges over the past 18 months and we have done everything in our power to remain open as much as possible when a lot of other nurseries/preschools have not been able to. The dedication of our preschool team is simply amazing.
I would also like to thank the many other people for their role in the life of the pre-school including but not limited to:
-
The parents of the children attending the pre-school for all their continued support of us.
-
Joe Bailey, our IT guru, for all his hard work on our website.
-
Therfield First School and all the teachers and teaching assistants for promoting strong links between the two settings and working with the pre-school to ensure a smooth transition to school for our Owls.
-
The Therfield residents for supporting our various fundraising activities that have been held in the past. Although in this 2020 year, this has not been possible but there is going to be the Campout, in September, to look forward to and I’m sure many more things to come.
-
The Village Hall Committee for all the hard work in getting the village hall to be able to be used by pre-school and for putting all the necessary steps in place in order for us to be able to stay open when all the other clubs have not been able to operate.
The Staff Team
Firstly I would like to say a huge thank you to all the staff for their hard work in this challenging 2020 year and now 2021. Throughout the year and a half, the staff have kept the pre-school a happy, warm and safe environment in which our children can play and learn. We have had many new starters and the staff have done an outstanding job of settling them in. Our staff continue to deliver the EYFS to our children whilst catering to the needs of the individual child in order to provide the EYFS required child-led curriculum. Activities led by the children’s interests and curiosity continue to be the strengths of our small and friendly pre-school. The Pre-school continues to thrive and offer a unique, happy and homely environment in a close-knit village.
Therfield Village Pre-school is extremely fortunate in having Tina Downing as its leader and our Deputy leader Natalie Hunn and the rest of the outstanding team. Sue Hamilton, Aline Revell remain valued pre-school assistants. Our new members of the team - Dunja Starc and Nicola Drew are very welcome. We have also seen some changes within our bank staff team welcoming Laura Jenkins as a valued member of the team.
We also did welcome Laura Wilmott as a pre-school assistant. She has had a good autumn term of 2020 with us but due to personal reasons, she decided not to stay on. We wish her all the best in her future and we are thankful for the time that she has been with us.
We had our surprise Ofsted visit back in November 2019. We were rated Good – this was a great result considering all the changes that were taking place at that time.
Community
Our pre-school is fortunate in having the close link with the Therfield First School and we will continue to be working in the future together to build on the transition periods for the children as they move onto the bigger schools.
There is a special thank you that needs to be said for the Village Hall Committee. Who worked together with Tina, her team and myself in insuring that the village hall was able to be remain open to pre-school throughout the lockdowns and restrictions. It has been a monumental task to keep up with all the changes that needed to be taken into consideration and all the steps to be taken in order to keep the pre-school open and operating.
Committee Changes and Challenges
As a committee led pre-school we value greatly our committee members for giving their precious time and commitment.
We are coming into a change period in our committee and we need new parents to join us as there are a couple of members that need to step down and their roles are required to be covered in order for the preschool to remain operational.
Any parents that would like to join us, are able to help and want to know more about the roles that we have and need to be covered, please have a look at the section 3.2 Committee Members and you are always welcome to come have a chat with me or any other members. We will always be more than happy to take you through what we do and how we do it. Please do come and join us if you can.
1.2 - Leader’s report March 2020-February 2021
2020/21 Developments – taken from previous proposed and planned actions:
Supporting the Continuous Professional Development all members of the team, including Health and Safety Awareness, and Fire Safety training for the appropriate representatives.
During the Covid-19 pandemic training has been online. The staff team have all been supported to complete core training. Tina will access health and safety training and Natalie fire safety training.
Working with Therfield First School to monitor the need for increased provision and hours for children in
the area, working towards ‘wrap around’ care.
During these unprecedented times it has been necessary to focus on continuing to offer safe care and provision for the children for the operational hours already in place. We will continue to monitor the need for extended hours during the next academic year.
A second member of the team to take on the Role of Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator for the setting, accessing the appropriate training and working alongside the leader to assess and meet the needs of individual children, and to support the staff team as key people for children with varying needs.
Sue has completed the relevant training and has taken on the role with no problems, working alongside Tina to support the staff team, and work with families, ensuring that our provision is fully inclusive and meets the needs of all children.
This year’s highlights:
Spring 2020:
We began the spring term thinking about our beautiful, exciting and multi-cultural world and were looking forward to lots of planned special events including our hugely exciting fundraising week, Mother’s day celebration and Easter Egg Hunt and party. Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 pandemic the Spring term for schools and settings was cut short as we and our families began to accept the changes taking place.
Summer 2020:
With the children home schooling for the first half of the Summer term we were grateful to have our online learning platform Tapestry, enabling us to share activities and messages with our families, and to engage in their learning at home through their own observations. Combined with the introduction and availability of various free online lessons, plans and resources to support home-schooling, which we were pleased to share with our families, we were secure in the knowledge that the children were learning and developing safely in their own homes.
The highlight for us was therefore being allowed to re-open for the final half term of the year, even though for restricted numbers. We were able to offer provision for both keyworker children and the children moving onto school in the Autumn term. Although activities and resources had to be restricted the children showed us immediately that welcoming them in was the right decision and we had a different and challenging but hugely rewarding half term.
We finished with a goodbye and good luck to our friends, presenting their gifts and books individually in front of pre-school.
Autumn 2020
We were excited to welcome back the children in greater numbers, inviting those who had attended prior to the summer term first, settling them back in and re-establishing key person bonds, before then welcoming new friends. Our main focus for the Autumn term was the children’s health and wellbeing, even more so than in previous years. We therefore focused on building confidence and self-esteem, recognising and handling our own feelings and activities and resources that encouraged being and working together.
One of the highlights was our Halloween week with a witch’s house, complete with fireplace and cauldron, a shelf full of spells and lots of discovery and messy play that engaged the children fully.
We also held our annual Christmas party for the children and this year Father Christmas sent us a personal video message along with a very generous sack of gifts for being so good and for making pre-school such a joy to be a part of.
Staff update:
Whilst being fortunate to gain Dunja on our team this year, we have also had to say a sad farewell to Sara, a hugely valued and popular member of the team, loved by staff, families and children. We know that Sara’s future setting will be lucky to have her and are grateful for all of her hard work and commitment to pre-school over the years.
Natalie has continued to offer inspiration and support to myself and the team as our deputy leader, seemingly tireless in her work, leading sessions and the setting as required, and as always turning a roleplay area into the most exciting of adventures, and Sue has confidently put her extensive skills and knowledge to good use as joint Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator, ensuring that the needs of all children are recognised and catered for. Aline as a qualified and experienced pre-school assistant continues to actively support planning, the implementation of our curriculum, key work and even DIY for us. We are also extremely proud of our newest member of the team, Dunja who has been reliable, flexible and fitted in perfectly to our well established team thanks to her enthusiasm, energy and work rate.
Leader’s Note:
This year has been full of challenges and difficulties that none of us have experienced previously. During these times we have been faced with the sometimes overwhelming responsibility of providing the safest care and education we can, whilst following and adhering to the changing rules and guidance we also worked hard to balance the emotional needs of the children with the need for hygiene and distance. Throughout this our priority has been the wellbeing of the children ensuring that they know they are safe and secure with us, the health and safety of our families and the safety and wellbeing of our staff team. This has involved amongst other things rethinking our drop off and pick up arrangements, the resources and toys available to the children, our daily routine and ongoing planning as well as enhancing our cleaning and clearing procedures.
This would not have been at all possible without the fantastic and pro-active support of our committee, particularly Vassilisa and Claire who have been inundated with guidance and legislation to work through, the dedication of the staff team which has at times included making sacrifices in their personal life to continue caring for our little ones, and the unquestioning support and understanding of our families throughout.
This year has made us all think about what is important and possibly re-evaluate, and in my case most definitely appreciate how lucky I am to work in the Early Years supported by so many, thank you all.
Tina.

3.2 COMMITTEE MEMBERS
Committee changes:
– Emily Stirk is stepping down as our Head of Fundraising. We thank you, Emily, for all your hard work, fun and enthusiasm that you brought when you have been able to organise our preschool fundraising events. Therfield Campout is going to be the last event that Emily will be in charge of for preschool together with Friends of Therfield committee.
-We are still looking for a volunteer to take on the role of the joint treasure and to take over from Robyn. She has been a valued member of the team for quite a few years now but her son has left preschool a long time ago and she would like to pass this role onto a new parent when possible.

SECTION 4: KEY DEVELOPMENTS
4.1 Owls’ club
We have been able, again, to offer an Owls’ club (for the children moving on to school in September) during the summer term of this year. The aim of this club is to provide the children with more focused activities in preparation for school and to ease their transition to school. The Owls’ club operates in the summer term.
4.2 Starting age
The starting age for pre-school children was reduced to 2 years in September 2013. This has continued to be a popular age to join the Preschool. We are happy to continue to offer places for children from 2 years old. The numbers of children under 2.5 years old are monitored very closely by the Leader (Tina) and Chair (Vassilisa). If a term is forecast to have a high number of children under 2.5 years old joining the pre-school, these children’s start dates are staggered accordingly to ensure each child is settled in based on their individual needs.
4.3 Village hall
Thank you to the Village Hall for supporting us in waiving rent for the time we were closed due to Covid. In January a payment of £1000 was paid to the Village Hall. From February 2021 a standing order of £898.00 monthly was set up to ensure the hall hire debt was paid by the end of August ready for the next academic term. During this tax year March 2020 – Feb 2021 the amount paid to the village hall was significantly lower than usual because of either closure or payments in arrears whilst waiting for confirmation of Covid funding.
4.4 Marketing
We continue to spread the word about the setting via our website, current parents, social media (especially sharing fundraiser information on Face Book), and the occasional flyer drop. We have a healthy number of children attending pre-school currently, almost to capacity. It is however important we do not sit back to ensure we see numbers grow following a large Owl departure in the summer term.
5. FUTURE PLANS
5.1 Policies – updates and implementation
Tina has undertaken the policy updating role. The policies are now all reviewed for this year and updated.
