**AGM – 4th November 2021 –** ## **- Chair report** Well, what can I say it has been a funny year with Covid-19. I would just like to say thank you to all the staff and management team through this time and working together as a team and following government guidelines and making playgroup a safe place for the children their families and staff team. The holiday clubs started back up last October but was run in bubbles due to Government guidelines and continued them this year. The holiday club has been a great success, fully booked most days. I have attended a few days and had great fun supporting child to the park and making Halloween cookies. We have also spent money on the setting, updating the garage and frontage of the setting. In last year’s aims we have also updated the hall cupboards, flooring, and sand area. Unfortunately, in the school year 20-21 we had 2 key staff sadly leave one long standing with 13 years and wish them well. **– Management report** We continued to follow government guidelines with COVID19 including risk assessments, COVID-19 Policy, extra cleaning and reading of updates. As a setting we promoted healthy living and eating more, through posters and Tapestry and Facebook. We were consistent in promoting positive behaviour as a team using Box Time, Monkey bag Time, sharing/team games, sand timers, visual routine cards, sensory play, well done board and golden rules. Used knowledge of wellbeing courses, staff had completed, to support transitions back into playgroup, for both children and their families. Outside we upgraded the garage area to create a better area for families to wait, and frontage of the playgroup to help with ‘curb appeal’ to promote more families to enquire about attending. Used articles and audits in staff team meetings to discuss and evaluate practice and the environment. Promoted reading and looking at books by offering active/interactive stories and resources as well as creating a younger touch and feel library. ## **' - This year s aims, 2021 2022;** - To continue to follow Government guidelines with COVID-19. - To implement the new Early Years Foundation Stage 2021 (EYFS) - including promoting children visiting the dentist and dental hygiene at home and promoting healthy living and eating in the setting and at home. - To introduce West Sussex Ordinarily Available Inclusive Practice into the setting and use alongside audit tools such as SSTEW, ECERS and ITERS. - Promote further, reading and looking at books; active and interactive stories and resources and to include regular visits to the library. - Continue to promote gardening and looking after the outside environment. - To promote the setting into the wider community, for example, social media, website, posters and signage. - To celebrate the settings 50[th] birthday!
