Chair persons report:
In October 2023 Julie (previous manager) and Rose (previous deputy) handed in their notices of resignation. Which was a worrying time for Playgroup as we didn’t know what would happen next. But applications were rolling in, and the interviewing process started. Nikki and Amy worked together at their previous nursery. Their interviews both went well and Julie and I agreed that they would be great for the Playgroup because they would be able to give each other the strength and confidence a new manager and deputy would need. They already worked well as a team and since joining the Playgroup, they have made small but very positive changes which seem to be working well. They are both doing everything they can to make sure children and staff are happy at all times, they seem to have settled very well into Westfield Playgroup and I look forward to the next year working with them.
Going forward, we will be working closely with Nikki and the staff to get both the Playgroup and the committee where they need to be. Please keep an eye out for our fundraisers happening this year. We would love to get you involved as much as possible with your children.
We appreciate all of your support during this time, and please bear with us while we all learn the ropes.
