All parents or guardians are welcome at meetings. We are a community based, non-profit making organisation registered with the Charity Commission. We are a member of the Early-Years Learning Alliance and the North Yorkshire Early Years Partnership with the local authority and we are also registered with OFSTED. ## **Objectives and Activities** We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum and plan activities which will help children to make good progress towards the early learning goals, where appropriate, and sometimes beyond. Through planning we encourage children to take part in activities that build on their interests, what they already know and their developing physical, emotional, social and intellectual abilities. Through play, in a secure environment with adult support, we think children can: - Explore, develop and represent experiences, which help them make sense of the world - Practice and build up ideas, concepts and skills - Learn how to control impulses and understand the need for rules - Be alone, alongside others and co-operate with others - Think creatively and imaginatively - Communicate with others as they investigate and solve problems - Express fears and anxieties in a safe environment In line with the Early Learning Goals our curriculum is divided into 3 prime areas of learning: - Personal, Social and Emotional Development - Communication and Language - Physical Development And 4 specific areas: - Mathematical - Literacy - Understanding of the World - Expressive Arts and Design ## **Achievements and Performance** Glaisdale Playgroup has a high attendance rate with most available places for sessions taken. Offering six sessions over three days. In addition, we also offer a baby and toddler group, breakfast club and lunch (either packed or provided by the school) enabling the playgroup to adapt to meet the needs of local parents. Organisation staff members have attended various training courses throughout the year. ## **Financial Review** The organisations income is made up of government funded places for eligible children, session fees for non-government funded children and fundraising activities.
