Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
Tilehouse Street Pre-school and Nursery have come out the other side of the Covid pandemic stronger and wiser for the experience. We have learnt many lessons and reflected appropriately because of it. This has impacted positively on our settling in process and communication with parents.
The Pre-school and Nursery have continued to be a force in the local community and our presence is stronger than ever. We were proud to join with Crackerjacks Children's trust this year to raise money for local disabled children.
We have built good connections with the Baptist Church who we are in the grounds of and continue to work with them. Our links with local playgroups and the wider community have shown to be consistent as we have not had to advertise externally to fill our rooms.
Over the past two years we have been introducing weekly Yoga classes to the older nursery aged children. This has proven very popular and we have now employed a yoga teacher to attend to further develop the childrens balance, fitness and mental wellbeing. This is a wonderful addition to our curriculum and has been extremely well received. In addition to the yoga classes we have also introduced cooking as a weekly lesson. This has allowed children to explore different food groups and experiences that they may not have had access to. We have been able to incorporate foods from around the world and our cohorts heritage into these lessons.
We enjoyed joining in the Queen's Jubilee celebrations by holding a tea party in the garden. This was a fantastic morning and showcased how we help promote British Values within our setting.
We were extremely happy to confirm that Mrs Karen Harvey became our permanent Deputy Manager, she has been a great support to myself and the setting.
We continue to use the online Famly app for all our communication and progress tracking as this has proven to be the most effective and preferred form of communication with parents/carers.
We will as always, continue to reflect on our children’s and families needs and strive to continue building our excellent local reputation.
