Little Badgers AGM September 2022
Chair’s Report
First of all I would like to thank you all for your support in my fourth year as chair, once again another different but successful year at Little Badgers comes to a close. 2021/2022 has ensured a great preschool has once again helped local children enjoy early years education.
September 2021
We started the new school year with some spaces still available. The pre-school opened at the beginning of September with our wonderful team welcoming old and new children. The children settled well into the new routines at pre-school a couple of new children were upset understandably but soon settled quickly thanks to the excellent team. Rachel kindly made some new curtains and cushion covers for the home corner which was a bit hit and they looked amazing. September saw a fair few children off with chicken pox’s. Sarah kindly donated some tablets to little badgers for the IT corner. The carrots were ready for harvest and all the children enjoyed eating them. Staff and children learned and celebrated the moon festival. As we were allowed people back into the setting again, a parents board was made in the cloakroom so parents and carers had more information. Staff and children learned celebrated Chuseok a Korean thanksgiving. Staff managed to organise for the library bus come to on a regular basics
October 2021
This year again the school didn’t do a harvest festival which was sad as we have enjoyed go down the church with them the last few years. Staff did all the children an autumn treasure bag for them to collect autumn treasures, once they were all collected they were all put together and the children arranged them in small to tall. The children had a go at been a scientist and some experiment were done. The children designed Christmas cards ready to be made into packs and mugs for parents to buy. We received £71.00 commission from this and again it has been a successful activity which we will repeat. The children and staff had a great time dressing up for Halloween and having a mini disco
November 2021
The children and staff learnt about and celebrated Diwali, the children helped dig over the garden to prepare it ready to plant the bulbs. We bought a giant mouth to show the children the importance of brushing out teeth and it went down a big hit. We decorated the big tree with poppies and did our remembrance day and did our 2 minutes silence. The library bus came again and the children loved been on the bus and listening to stories. We had our AGM and no one attended that wasn’t already on the committee. The children had a non uniform day for children in need and raised £19.10. Rose and Son came and took family and induvial photos of the children.
December 2021
On the first of December the children decorated the Christmas tree, we did the Christmas advent calendar and did lots of Christmas crafts, Unfortunately Santa was unable to make and appearance this year to Little Badgers but all the children still got a present, the children did some Christmas singing and it was shared with all the parents and careres so that they didn’t miss out.

and have it inside in the air conditioning. We also managed to do a trip to piglets which everyone loved, we had some parents as helpers as well, without them it wouldn’t be able to happen.
