This year the committee stood down at an EGM and no new volunteers came forward, it was agreed the preschool would be changed to a Company Limited By Guarantee, the company was formed but we are waiting on a new Ofsted application.

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Numbers have been higher at the beginning of this academic year than last year as less children were school age. Numbers have not grown as much throughout the year due to Covid-19. As pupil numbers increase the Pre-School increases staff hours to ensure ratios are maintained. All sessions are covered by a minimum of 2 qualified members of staff plus 1 additional staff member as ratios require. All staff are already fully qualified or working towards childcare qualifications. There have been less opportunities for volunteers due to Covid-19 for 5 months of the year. Covid-19 restrictions meant a reduction in opening hours and tighter restrictions on numbers. All children who wanted to attend were given a place; some parents decided to keep their children at home. This also meant that the usual summer events were unable to go ahead.
Parents were invited in for stay and play sessions, share a story time and wow days. throughout the first two terms. We also managed a leavers picnic on the field.
The Pre-school follows the EYFS statutory framework and has covered the topics within sessions including the following . Some of the things covered this year were: Autumn: Helping Each Other People Who Help Us Remembrance Day Children in Need Christmas Visit to the local shop and mobile library. Spring: Winter and Arctic Animals Chinese New Year Music Spring World Book Week Summer: Fairytales Senses Trip to the Copse (nature site) Hygiene Diversity and different families Seaside
Over lockdown we provided activities for parents to do at home with their children to support learning they would have been doing in preschool. We also created Going to School and Summer activity packs to help keep the children entertained.

Section D Achievements and erformance p We continue to follow in the moment planning so activities are planned based on children’s interests. We continued with our lunch club to extend the morning session until 1pm and registration fees for new children which paid for a welcome pack and t-shirt for each child. In order to provide a more wholesome snack we also asked for snack donations.
A significant contribution is made by the committee members who provide a management and fundraising service to the Pre-School. The committee ran a fund raising event - santa’s grotto and Christmas crafts. Other events were postponed due to Covid-19. Events are planned to involve the pre-school children, their families and other members of the local community.
