|during the year||Our pre school started September 2020 in the same manner that it had|
|||ended<br>in fhe summer<br>term —mid-pandemic<br>with an uncerlain<br>path ahead.|
|||Strict measures<br>were put in place to ensure<br>aN staff, children,<br>and|
|||parents were kept as safe as possible. This was made easier by having|
|||exclusive use ofthe hall until May 2021.|
|||The Autumn<br>tenn started with a krw number ofchgdren, but the|
|||successful outdoor sessions helped wekome new famiTies through<br>the|
|||doors ofour lovely setdng and we soon saw the numbers<br>increase and|
|||the preschool<br>community<br>grew positively.|
|||Vicky Mome took over as our pre school manager<br>in an unusually|
|||challenging<br>time and has helped staff continue to deliver the high quality|
|||childcare that our children are lucky enough toexperience.<br>Itgoes|
|||without saying that the slaff have had to udtise their creative skills in new|
|||ways throughout<br>Ihe past academic year —delivering a rantasric<br>nativity|
|||on glm and prerriered<br>through zoom,<br>ganising a pre school end ofyear|
|||outdoor afternoon tea and joining the committee<br>with a range of|
|||fundraising<br>acttvTiies.|
|||The fundraising<br>and generosity ofour pre school and viNage community|
|||has been outstanding.<br>and we have seen amazing<br>otributions.<br>Fingers|
|||crossed for moro brilliant fundraising<br>ideas in the coming year!|
|||With a brief dosure ofpre school to aN bul chgdren ofessential workers,|
|||the staff ag worked hard to continue<br>with their jobs either online or in the|
|||setting. We were aN kept safe without our bubble bursting<br>and having no|
|||positive casesl itseemed to be business as usual after our Easter break.|
|||with high numbers<br>ofchildren, forest school sessions at the school and|
|||the occasional special trip to Bugs and Blossom and staff still sNcking to|
|||their strict deaning procedures<br>and parents adhering<br>to social distancing|
|||guidance and mask wearing to keep us aN safe.|
|||We have to say. everyone<br>had done a fantastic job at keeping safe,|
|||respecNng<br>others, and following guidance. The performance<br>ofour|
|||preschool staff and for the community<br>during the pandemic<br>shoukl|
|||reassure<br>new families that we really do the best Iokeep our children safe|
|||and happy.|
