1. COVID-19
Preschool closed on March 19th 2020 and did not reopen until September 2020. Six members
of staff were furloughed. The leader continued to provide some level of support to the
preschool community with regular emails. activity suggestions. Fa￿book posts and story
reading videos, video messages for the children, letters from the staff to their key children,
home packs available to borrow and a Having Fun At Home booklet full of play ideas and
information.
2. Staffing
Sadly after many years Cathy has stepped down as a preschool practitioner at Magic Dragon.
We would like to thank Cathy for all of her hard work supporting children in their learning.
Niki has moved to the yellow group and Sally has moved to work with the blue group.
3. BAND
We are a member of this organisation which supports us with we￿are requirements. Our
development worker, Elizabeth Male, has provided us with support throughout the year. Ellie
and Elizabeth from BAND carried out a pre-OFSTED check of our preschool in December
2019. We have some actions as a result of this visit including ensuring all staff are confident to
discuss Safeguarding questions with an inspector. The management team drafted a set of
questions with model answers relating to Magic Dragon to be shared with staff and the
committee.
Our policies were reviewed and as a result we have adopted all of the BAND policies from
September 2020.
A suggestion was made by BAND about lunch club provision and as a result, children now go
outside after lunch and access our outdoor provision as well as having an activity available
inside 'to ensure that children are still accessing comprehensive learning opportunities,.
A target for the staff was to ensure that stsff knew about the role of the Local Authority
Designated Officer {LADO) in managing staff allegations. As a result of this target, staff
meeting time was allocated to talking about the role of the LADO. Another tsrget was to further
encourage children to be more independent which we are achieving by encouraging children
to wash their hands rather than just using hand sanitiser, being involved in snack preparation,
selecting their lunch boxes themselves from the trolley at lunch time and being involved in
setting up activities outside.
4. Policies
Magic Dragon Preschool policies have been reviewed and updated during the year according
to our schedule. We have adopted the BAND policies on their recommendation. New policies
adopted include a COVID-19 policy. environmental policy, contingency planning policy, zero
tolerance policy and a sun cream policy.
5. Health and Safety
The team carries out a daily check of premises and equipment. An annual health and safety
and fire risk assessment was due to be carried out on the premises by the Committee Chair
together with Sally in June 2020, but this has been postponed until November 2020. The
church hall representative has carried out a heatth and safety check with Niki in September
2020.

New body map forms were introduced last year to ensure a comprehensive record of any
accidents was kept. Sally also compiles and analyses all of the accidents that occur at Magic
Dragon and feeds back to staff at each staff meeting.
6. Staff development and training
During the year staff attended various training and workshops. and completed some online
training through Educare (provided by The Eady Years Allian￿, of which we are a member) to
update and enhance their knowledge and skills.
Sally, our SENCO. has attended regular briefings throughout the year. Visits with the local
authority Inclusion and Portage team were also carried out.
Niki has undertaken the necessary training for her role as Leader, including attending the local
Leaders Network meetings, a very useful forum for sharing common issues. Ali, our
Designated Safeguarding Leader, has attended Safeguarding cluster meetings and a multi-
agency ne￿Ork workshop.
All staff have been kept up-to-date by in-house safeguarding training.
SupeNision sessions (individual and group) and appraisals have been carried out for all staff.
An INSET in September 2020 focused on preparations for the children returning after
lockdown including how we could support children's mental health and sharing of information
be￿een keypeople for the blue group childien.
7. Fundraising & Events
The Having Fun At Home booklet was designed and produced in order to raise some funds for
preschool and promote the preschool in the local area. This is an ongoing task.
8. Other ev•nts
The children enjoyed lots of trips last year including a trip to the post box. a shape hunt
around Bishop Road, an Autumn sensory walk, a traffic survey on Bishop Road. a sports day
at a local school, a trip to the supermarket to buy ingredients to make bird feeders and a
pirate treasure hunt following a route on a map of the local area.
Termly coffee mornings were held for parents to get to know each other and a short
workshoplpresentation was delivered by Niki to support parents in helping their children at
home.
Parents were invited in to share lunch with the children after we had made an Autumn soup,
they were also invited in to watch the Chinese New Year dance and to watch our Christmas
show on the stage in the hall. We also had visits from a local Optician, a Chinese dragon
head was loaned to us by a parent to help celebrate Chinese New Year and a parent doctor
came in to lead a session with the children.
Learning journals now go home every term and the children's next steps are shared verbally
with parents so that we can work together and share what we do at preschool.
9. Register
At the end of the year there were twenty children on the register at Magic Dragon, with 5
leaving to start Reception and 3 to join another preschool in September and one child moving
away from the area.
10. Promotion
This has been a focus over the past year. Flyers have been designed, printed and dropped
through letterboxes and put up around the local area. The Facebook page has been more
widely used to promote what we do at preschool. An open moming was organised for October
2019 and the one to be held on March 19th 2020 was can￿lled. The website has been
updated to make it more accessible for parents to access information and for new parents
enquiring to get in touch more easily.
