## HENDREDS TRUSTEES PRESCHOOL REPORT Academic Year 2019-2020 

Notwithstanding the challenges presented by Covid-19 the pre-school continues to thrive. The staff managed the situation admirably, reassuring parents and children alike. 

Many other pre-schools in the area never re-opened following the government lockdowns. Hendreds pre-school is proud of the fact it managed to do so, operating bubbles so that children could continue to attend pre-school and have some structure and continuity in what were undoubtedly uncertain times. 

There have been some staff changes over the last year due to two members of staff being on maternity leave but matters have already settled. We are confident they will continue to do so over the next academic year. Despite those changes and the difficulties the pandemic presented, the children have demonstrated remarkable resilience and continue to thrive at pre-school. 

Efforts have been made to make the toys and facilities more environmentally friendly focusing on sustainability and the children are embracing the outdoor area, growing their own plants alongside general outdoor fun. 

We remain keen to optimise marketing of the preschool. The closure of other preschools in the area can only be to our advantage and we have certainly had an increase in visits from prospective parents. 

Notwithstanding the marketing strategy, we have strong numbers, operating at capacity, with a waiting list too. Our finances have not been impacted by the pandemic and the balance sheet, including contingency, remains healthy.
