Our Nursery and After-school facilities are well used Ihough are not at full capacily. I have recently resigned my post as Chair of the Management Commiltee due to ill heallh, but the post has been succeeded by Deborah Douglas. I'm sure all staff members will join me in welcoming Deborah to the post and give her the same support afforded to myself. I will remain on the committee as Vice Chair until Deborah has been brought up to speed oflin the role. Our community initiatives (nurserylstay and playlsenior citizen grouplyouth seNices} remain fairly viable but could do with some new strategies lo engage more users to recognise and grow their capacity. We have been fortunate to gain two new members lo our management committee, Derak Charlton, and Fiona Plalt. Both have long term involvement wilh St. Andrews. It is wilh sad news that we will be losing Iwo key members of staff in April and May 2024, respectively. Joanne Blades (nursery Practitioner) has been wilh our nursery facility since it's conception - 41 years and has decided to retire from her post for personal reasons. Niki Teather who had the courage to oversee the management of the nursery and centre over the last 10 years will be moving onto an exciting post with Bexley Council. I'm sur8 all staff will join me in wishing both Joanne and Niki the very best with their future endeavours as they will b8 truly missed. Our sincere thanks to all staff members whilsl we undertake recruitment of Ihe posts Joanne and Niki will leave vacant. It is at Ihis point Deborah and me would like to thank all centre staff members for their Gonlinual commitment in supporting the centre and its activities through this period of change. I would like to personally'thank, John Grundy- Minister of St. Andrews URC, Sonia Weston Church Secrelary. StAndrews URC and St. Andrew's URC congregation for their continual support of St. Andrew's Centre. Long may we continue to work in harmony for the community. Jackie Heath & Deborah Douglas Vice Chair & Chair- St. Andrew's Management Committee 91Page Nursery and Centre Managers report The impact of COVID has continued lo be felt within Ihe nursery and a low birth rate which occurred after the pandemic has resulted in low attendance within the nursery and occupancy, has not returned to pre-COVID levels. Nursery life has however inevitably continued, and practitioners have continued to work hard to provide excellent opporlunilies and experiences for the children attending. This year, thanks to Sharon, the nursery have participated in tho Royal Horticultural Gardening Sociely awards achieved a level three. Sharon Hogsden (Deputy manager), supported by Jamie Miller Ilhird officer in Charge) have also led provision for children and families through Ihe Making it real scheme which involves providing support and advice for children and families within their home around literacy. Why I hymt Throughout the year the staff team have continued lo undertake training to improve their practice and provision for children. Most of the nursery practitioners undertook the new Government Early years development training course which involved weekly training over the course of three months. Other courses included, safeguarding, speech and language development and courses specifically relating to a range of topics to support children with additional need. Talisha Salmon {practitionerl is currently undertaking a level five lead practitioner course and Yvonne Sewell-Edwards Ilhird officer in charge) is scheduled to begin the level three Special Educational Needs Coordinator in March. Further our staff leam includes Iwo apprentices undertaking a level three child educator course. 10IPage While our staff team has remained stable over the years, this year we have said goodbye lo Erica Francisco and Sharon Bonner. Joane Blades. Joanne who was employed wilhin the nursery for over forty years, will be retiring at the end of April and I too will be leaving al the end of May. Recruitment for nursery practitioner continues lo be difficult, and while the Government Is working to respond lo the shortage of nursery practitioners through the Childcare recruitment campaign, unfortunately Lewisham is not as yet amongst the boroughs offering a £1000 tax free payment to new employees. The posls of third officer in charge and nursery manager are being advertised. l am pleased ta note that Andrew Gill will be undertaking the centre manager aspect of my role and I wish him every success. On a personal note, I would like to thank Barry Carter {Our patron) for the opportunity to join the St Michaels and Sl Andrews Community over thirty five years ago, Sonia Weston, JaGkio Heath, and Yvonne Hepburn for the opportunity to join and the StAndrews board of trustees for supporting me through my professional journey. Lastly my sincere thanks go to the St Andrews stsff team who I will miss immensely and specifically Sharon who has supported me throughout in what sometimes has felt like a very surreal experience. My passion for the voluntsry sector and desire lo make a differenGe has been nurtured wilhin st Andrews, Thank you. Niki Taather 11 IPage After school and playscheme report Our numbers are going up al Gordonbrook, John Slainer and Beecroft, w8 have new children starting and other children extending to more day from the 2 previous schools. Joyce works five days alongside Tracy. Kimlee also works 4 days. Johann and Andrew have changed days. To accommodate for the rising numbers on Mondays and Tuesdays, so Johann will be helping Kimlee and Shareef when the numbers are high. Andréw has a volunteer help with the numbers while going lo Beecrofl. Playscheme The Easter Playscheme and th6 summer playscheme went well with about 25+ children we worked alongside the HAF programme (which helps parents whose children receive Fsmlfree school meals)to receive free spaces in the morning from 10 am- 2 pm (we only run the one session), we also have superstar sports who run a session in the morning andlor afternoon. We only receive from the HAF programme in Easter & Summer playschemes. 121Page Stay and play report. Hall hire The Hall hire has picked up since all the closures and restrictions, with the hall hired out most weekends for children's parties. The evening hire has also picked up with hall hire between 4 pm- 6 pm all week booked out. The Monday dance group has extended their time as has Carla the Zumba lady who has extended her time for h8r sessions for 10 weeks. Thursdays is Choir group in the Carter Hall. Andrew can lock up for community hire as he is at youth club. Mondays and Tuesdays are still free for hire during the days. Pensioner club Pensioners No1 group The No.1 Pensioners luncheon club has a long history at Sl Andrews.11 was told when I started here over 30 years ago that it was slarted during Ihe Second World War by the council.) So, we were saddened by the closure forced during the COVID pandemic, and the losses from it. But il has now restarted and moved from Friday to Tuesday, the numbers are not as high as they were, but it has between 6 and 10 regulars, and we are open to new mernbers. It starts with a seated exercise class, followed by lunch, we used to go out once a month to a restaurant, cafe, or park and are hoping to re start these trips as the weather warms up a bit. 131Pi1ge Youth club Thursdays.- 6:15pm lo 8:15pm Age group: 8 10 16 OurTheme for 2023124, chosen by the young people, is 'Young and Healthy Energy Hub,, and has included the following activities.. Making nutritious food on a budget, Learning First aid Football training by members Using the computers to improve learning & T- shirt design Youth Club After September 2023, our numbers reduced but this was expected due to some children changing schools and friendship groups. We called and texted all parents and gained very us8ful information about how we could also improve our offer to young people. Our members started to revise our publicily and presentations at the Ladywell Assembly meating proved useful as we had few new members join us in November 2023. One of our team joined the Ladywell Assembly Commissioning group and this has proved useful with regards lo knowledge about the makeup of the ward with regards to types of housing in this area made up of social and affluent neighbours. This will help us to target areas. We planned to visit local schools with a view to speaking at a local assembly or during tutor group sessions, but this has not yel taken place. Our main aim for May to June 2024 is to leaflet homes as bad weather has affected our ability to go oul. After the 'purdah', regarding local and London eleclions, which have poslponed a number of council activities, we have been invited to talk about st Andrews youth club al the Lewisham Central local assembly. Funding The computers and Play & Stay equipment bought with NCILILadywell Assembly funding have provided new and educational activitieslequipmenl for all to use. The Play and Slay groups have seèn a decline in numbers due lo a number of children starting school bul the Friday session has seen a small growth in numbers. New activities have been welcomed and a few parents have asked to use our computers to check their benefits and make job applications. This has proven that there is some community cohesion which can be built on. Staffing Our staff team has years of experience, including skills gained from youth work, working with younger children, Information Advice & Guidance. 141Page We must mention here, the tireless work of our volunteer, Shareef, who has proved himself to be a reliable and hardworking individual. He has supported some of our more vulnerable members and brought out posllive social skills which 2 of our most vulnerable members did not have when they firsl joined us, and it was touch and go whether they would continue coming and they still are.
