|Summary ofthe main<br>achievements<br>ofthe charity<br>during the year||||During this period we have been open 5days a week for 38weeks ofthe<br>year. We have been open throughout<br>the lockdowns<br>and have increased<br>our opening<br>hours to now include Tuesday and Wednesday<br>afternoons.|
|||||, We provided<br>term time childcare<br>in accordance<br>with the requirements<br>of|
|||||the Early Years Foundation<br>Stage Framework,<br>Ofsted Framework<br>and|
|||||the requirements<br>ofthe Gloucestershire<br>Early Years team.|
|||||It has been another very challenging<br>year due to the pandemic.<br>We were|
|||||~ only able to carry out 1 main fundraising<br>event —the Christmas<br>Nativity.<br>,'This fundraising<br>provides<br>useful additional<br>funds for resources,<br>However,|
|||||the other planned<br>events were forced to be cancelled. Parents have|
|||||contributed<br>with some donations of items playgroup<br>required<br>and money.|
|||||We have continued<br>to foster strong<br>links with local Primary Schools and|
|||||, continue to work with other local settings to share good practice.<br>Itwas|
|||||unfortunate<br>that no school visits were able to take place this year. But the|
|||||Reception Teachers from the Primary Schools were able to visit us|
|||||instead to meet the pre schoolers. We have received good support and|
|||||advice from the Early Years Team at Gloucestershire<br>County Council and|
|||||from PATA.|
|||||, The Chair and Treasurer ofTrustees changed<br>at the AGM in November|
|||||' 2020 and the Secretary remained<br>unchanged.|
|||||We continued<br>to provide the extended<br>opening<br>hours, being open 5days|
|||||per week and continued<br>to provide a total of27.5 hours ofa provision a|
|||||, week and places for children<br>from 2years upwards,|
|||||, We had good child numbers<br>evenly spread across the five days and the|
|||||' numbers<br>rose steadily throughout<br>the year.|
|||||We chose to ensure we had a more stable level ofstaffing going forward.|
|||||,'Ensuring<br>that we have 4 members<br>ofstaff working<br>everyday.<br>We felt it|
|||||would be hugely beneficial forthe children<br>to have extra staff on hand. As|
|||||' well as staff feeling more valued and hopefully<br>retained as they are not|
|||||having<br>their hours changed<br>according to children's<br>numbers.|
|||||We have continued<br>to successfully<br>deliver provision<br>of the extended 30|
|||||hours childcare and Tax-free childcare<br>(beginning<br>September 20'I 7), We|
|||||have provided<br>support to parents to enable them to sign up and access|
|||||these additional<br>benefits. We have also continued<br>our membership<br>of|
|||||' childcare voucher schemes.|
|||||The staff coped amazingly<br>welt during the pandemic<br>and have adapted to<br>the 'new normal'<br>way ofworking. A new policy and risk assessment<br>for|
|||||Covid19 was created and the staff applied<br>itto playgroup<br>to ensure the|
|||||l safety ofour children<br>and staff. It has been a real challenge.|
|||||, We were able to maintain<br>the business<br>and in fact increase turnover<br>and|
|||||no staff were furloughed.<br>We felt it was important<br>to retain our wonderful|
|||||staff.|
