AGM held at Aunte Ro’s Playgroup on 8th November 2024 @ 7.30pm
## Chairpersons Report
Thanked all staff and management for their hard work and support.
There are a few areas that I would like to cover that has taken place over the last twelve months and these are - Staff finishing their level 3 qualification, staff on less sessions agreed to do extras, students came back to support our busy summertime and holiday clubs, holiday club was very busy. Our new sensory room was completed fully and having babies and toddlers in the setting has been developed well.
Discussion on changing from an unincorporated charity to an incorporated charity – all agreed
## Management Report:
Last year evaluation of aims, 2023-2024; Embraced having under two-year-olds within our setting enhancing provision, completed staff training and discussions to offer the best experience for all children – once the team settled having babies it went very well working as a team. Staff report they couldn’t imagine the setting without the younger ones now.
Promoted reading and looking at books more, offering active and interactive stories throughout the setting using resources. We did a reading diary at WBD which had great feedback from parents. Promoted staying healthy – teeth, healthy food choices.
Supported families to use Tapestry on a regular basis to improve parent engagement and adding posts from home and to use of documents and information to support families.
Used evaluation tools to enhance diversity in the setting buying new resources, especially books. Offered yoga and sensory exploration more to help engage children to think critically.
Had a few visitors such as the farm, Zoolab, music therapy, Nurturing Minds and a sensory visitor. We have continued to have Amy back from Nurturing Minds this term.
Evaluated the setting to make enhancements and to thin out resources as more is less!
## ' - This year s aims, 2024 2025;
