Achievements and performance
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
2020 has been a challenging year for Cygnets during the Covid pandemic. That
Said. we have continued to offer a high-quality Servi￿ providing care and early
Years education for our children. always adapting to the ever-changing
government guidance to ensure everyone's safety. Our usual activities were
restricted but we worked hard to find alternattve ways to deliver a quality
curriculum.
Our children continued to be SUPFM)rted during lockdown with staff engaging
them in home leaming and ensuring families were coping wrth the situation5
they found theMSe￿e5 in. Our vulnerable familie5 were supported with
learning packs. food parcels and just by staying in touch.
lrfe retumed to rM)mial. we were excited to welcome our children and
families back into the nursery despite social distancing and parentslcarers not
able to enter the building. Our children were amazing- they coped so well and
were 500r¥ back in the swing of things.
Lockdown has inevitably impatted children's development, particularly socially
and emotionally. We have put strategies in place to support children's mental
health and welkbeing to counterdrt thi5 as far as wssible.
As a settinE, we are extremely proud of the way in which we managed the
unprecedented circumstance5 we found oursefves in. Both the Committee and
staff have worked so hard to ensure we could continue to serve our children
and their families in our Io(31 community.
