Section D Achievements and performance
4 March 2012

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
This has been a turbulent but ultimately successful year for the setting. After a successful first half of the year, we had an unprecedented time from March 2020 with the turbulence of the pandemic, focussing on reassuring and supporting families whilst juggling staffing and bubbles to keep abreast of appropriate guidance to keep everyone safe. After a period of ‘virtual’ learning, the setting reopened in July with a cohort of 12 children that needed that support to be able to successfully transition to primary school in September. We had a skeleton team supporting and ample enough times to thoroughly clean.
September 2020 saw Mrs Helen Watson move onto pastures new and Mr Chris Roblett take on the helm as Pre-school & Nursery Manager with Mrs Deborah Tobias as Deputy Manager. In light of the current context, the Manager with his team made a decision that the Nursery and Pre-school children would keep separate throughout the morning sessions and remain in their base rooms rather than as previous where they would mix and socialise in one room. What this has meant is further focused learning and child led activities being taken forward with more space and confidence especially during these times.
But we have had remained steadfast in our mission to keep ‘business as usual’ and with the hard work of the team we have been able to work with our families to follow our risk assessment and make changes to our building with the entrance and exit, how we communicate through our Famly App, email and telephone to replace more of a personable, physical approach to our normal partnership working. Again, through determination, understanding, and an equal measure of hard work, we have had excellent results with satisfied families and incredibly settled children. Their resilience and confidence astound us every day as we manage to navigate through further turbulent times and changes to our service with the respect of keeping the building safe. But since we were able to open, we have been in operation.
We put out our first termly satisfaction questionnaire at the end of September 2020 and compiled a ‘You Said, We Did’ results feedback which again were very positive and supportive of the measures that we have undertaken in order to keep everyone safe as well as supporting mental health and social development.
