Review and progress
on role and 20 children to be on role for the following term and a waiting list for the following year.
In September 2023 we started with Christine as an interim manager, she run the setting for the first few weeks until Kelly took on the role as Manager from November 2023.
Our Autumn term started with a topic of All about me, which encourage the children to express their thoughts and feelings about their families and home life.
This was the shortly followed by our Christmas topic, which gave us the opportunity to visit the local church and learn about the about the Christmas story. We created various di�erent Christmas themed items to share with our loved ones, such as Christmas cards, decorations, stocking, Christmas candle lights and more. We joined the local school for Christmas celebrations and watched their Christmas show. We learnt Christmas songs and put on a show for our parents. We were also very lucky to take a school trip to Audley end railway where we had lots of fun exploring and creating some Christmas magical moments.
The new year came along and we enjoyed celebrating Chinese New Year, Valentines day, pancake day and Ramadan. This was shortly followed by our topic of spring where we planted flowers which we gave to our mummies for Mother’s Day. We learn about grow over time and explored our local community looking for various signs of spring.
Summer term came and we have been focusing on supporting out children in becoming ready for school, while looking at school uniforms, school dinners, teachers and class rooms. We also had a small topic on emotions, where we focused on the story -colour monster which helped children to learn about their emotions and those of others around them.
We ended the year with 4 children graduating to local primary school.
Over the last few months we have developed the structure of the setting and focused on ensuring we are current with the growth and development of child care and early years. This started with us making ourselves known within the local community, flyer drops, open days and holding various funding raising events such as Christmas wreath making workshops, Christmas craft, Father Christmas grotto, quiz nights, cake sales and more. These activities and events have raised valuable funds for the setting which has given us the opportunity to be financially viable and also develop some areas within the setting such as our outdoor space, create a cosy corner, purchase new resources and more. We started the year on operating 3.5 days a week. The plan for September 2024 is to be open 5 days a week, this is such a huge success and is a credit to the hard working team of sta� and our wonderful committee.
We ended July 2024 with sending our deputy Beth on Maternity leave and in September 2024 we welcome Charlene West as our acting Deputy in Beth’s absence.
