FOR THE YEAR TO 31[ST] AUGUST 2021
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (continued)
- b. encouraging the study of the needs of such children and their families and promoting public interest in and recognition of such needs in the local areas.
Activities which demonstrate these objectives have been met include:
-
Pre-School runs a successful weekly toddler group open to families with babies and toddlers living in the local area.
-
Pre-School is open 5 days a week (term time).
-
Sessions offer flexibility to meet the individual needs of parents/carers. The day is split into sessions and parents are free to choose a combination of sessions, initially up to a maximum of 6 sessions, however further sessions are permitted if space allows.
-
Places are available to children at 2 years and 6 months. Pre-School accepts Devon County Council funding for 2-year olds and 3-4 year olds and is also happy to receive payment from parents/carers either in full or in instalments via cash, cheque, BACS or childcare vouchers.
-
Pre-School uses the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum and links all areas of Learning and Development into the daily planning and observations.
-
Pre-School’s approach to learning promotes the development of creativity, individuality and self-confidence. Our environment incorporates both indoor and outdoor 'learning' – the philosophy being 'what can be learnt inside can be learnt outside'.
-
Pre-School incorporates the Government’s literacy 'guidelines' 'Letters and Sounds' into the daily routine, thus developing children's speaking and listening skills from an early age.
-
Pre-School has a large selection of toys and equipment. These are reviewed regularly and updated to ensure they link to the children's current interests.
-
Different activities are planned each day such as craft, painting, and baking, and include plenty of outdoor play, weather permitting.
-
All staff are fully trained with relevant qualifications and attend first aid and safeguarding training regularly.
-
Parental/carer involvement takes place in a variety of ways. Parents can join the committee and actively participate with the overall running of the Pre-School, volunteer on an ad hoc basis or help plan and run fundraising events.
-
Parents/carers receive regular communication regarding Pre-School matters and also receive constant updates regarding their child’s development via online profiles.
-
Pre-School aims to ensure all sections of its community have access to the setting through open, fair and clearly communicated procedures.
The trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission’s published guidance on the Public Benefit requirement under the Charities Act 2011.
The trustees are satisfied that the activities outlined above meet the public benefit purpose of the advancement of education.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The 2020/2021 academic year started with a bit more of a feeling of normality which was a welcome change from the previous year. Numbers were very strong despite the ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, this remained the case throughout the year and finances were stable.
The year started with 37 children on the register and ended with 44 children. As in previous years there were a large number of children that would be school age at the end of the summer term so we decided once again to avoid a significant drop in numbers occurring in September 2021 that we would continue to market pre-school throughout the early part of 2021.
The marketing consisted of regular Facebook posts that were shared on local village sites and later in the year we were able to restart toddler group and also run an open day as COVID restrictions were eased.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR TO 31[ST] AUGUST 2021
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (continued)
With 34 children on the register numbers are slightly lower than last year for the autumn term, however there are quite a few children that have started on the minimum sessions with a view to increasing those sessions after Christmas. Pre-school will continue to operate 5 days a week with both morning and afternoon sessions being offered.
Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions we were unable to have a Harvest festival service and were also not able to run the Christmas Bizarre fundraiser or Nativity church service. Instead, the staff organised some Nativity singing for parents to watch on zoom at the end of the autumn term. There was also a cocoa evening during which the children could listen to stories via zoom read by the staff and a special virtual visit from Father Christmas. This was a huge success and the children thoroughly enjoyed it.
We returned in January to the news of another national lockdown. The difference this time was that Early Years settings were encouraged to stay open. Pre-school remained open and operated fully for all those children that wished to attend. We maintained our strict COVID-19 procedures including staggered drop offs and collections and parents continued to drop off and collect outside Pre-school. Despite the challenges the spring term was a huge success and PR and the staff team worked tirelessly to ensure that Pre-school ran as it should.
To recognise the outstanding efforts of the NHS staff throughout the pandemic PR organised hampers filled with yummy treats donated from parents and committee members. These were delivered to The Cedar ward in RD&E which is an inpatient unit that supports adults in need of acute support for their mental health and one to the vaccination centre at Westpoint. These were very gratefully received.
Due to the high numbers of children the decision was made to run Rising 5’s sessions in the upstairs room of the village hall to help prepare the school age children for September. These mornings gave the rising 5’s a unique opportunity to work on listening and school readiness skills. We worked very closely with West Hill Primary School to ensure that the transition to School was smooth. Alongside working on the weekly phonics theme we focused on our daily routines such as hanging up coats, putting on own shoes and coats and good hygiene such as hand washing and toileting. We also reflected the register taking at school and circle time where there are activities, games and stories. We also do lots of fun playing and creating.
Aside from this Pre-school continued to follow a child led and child centred approach which means that sessions are structured through following children’s interests as they happen supporting learning in a gentle child led fashion. This was built on further in the summer term with the introduction of a preschool children’s committee. A small group of children would meet with PR and make decisions on things such as what snack they would like on each day and which activities they would like to do. It was rotated each week so all children were given an opportunity to take part.
Again, due to the restrictions of the pandemic we were unable to have the Mother’s Day service or an Easter event so PR and the staff team organised cards and gifts for mother’s day for children to take home. At Easter we arranged Easter eggs and activity packs to go home with the children and they had a zoom call with the Easter Bunny. Pre-school has made such a huge effort this year to keep things as fun and normal as possible for all our children.
At the beginning of the summer term, we were able to start Forestry Fridays which attracted more interest in pre-school and were extremely popular with the children. Forest school runs on a Friday morning, the children all go to a designated Forest school site with a qualified Forest School Practitioner. They enjoy being outside exploring and investigating the natural world, challenging themselves and building a life-long love of the outside world. They enjoy den building, climbing, swing building, mud kitchen, and much more. The sessions are focused around the children's interests and help build confidence and self-esteem. As part of this, on a Friday the Pre-school is set up to reflect the session, the staff follow the Forest School ethos of natural resources and exploring nature. By extending Forest School into the setting, it helps embed the learning that happens at the Forest School site.

FOR THE YEAR TO 31[ST] AUGUST 2021
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Toddler group also restarted after the Easter break which has been a huge success and it’s been so lovely for parents with young children to be able to get together again after a considerable time with limited social contact for both children and parents. We ran a booking system to ensure that numbers remained within COVID guidelines.
Sports day this year was a little different to normal as it was a week of sports activities hosted at preschool for the children. Sadly, parents were not able to attend but the children had great fun participating and still received a medal for their achievements.
Fortunately, by the end of the summer term restrictions had lifted enough for PR to organise a graduation day for the school leavers. The children took part in activities arranged by PR and the staff and were also treated to an entertainer and some party food. Following this one parent of each child was able to attend a short ceremony in the large hall to see the children graduate from Pre-school.
The year ended with our open day on the first day of the summer holidays and was very well attended. It was a lovely opportunity to show our new and prospective parents how Pre-school looks and for them to meet the staff.
Staff update
In September 2020 we welcomed Catherine Harmson to the preschool team. Catherine has been a fantastic addition to the team and is now our Curriculum lead.
At the end of the autumn term, we said goodbye to Claire Ritchie after a hugely successful 5 years as administrator. Charlotte Briant-Evans took over the role fully in January 2021 after a short handover period.
At the end of the spring term, we said a very sad goodbye to Paula Hazell after 17 years. We then welcomed Louise Harris and Bea Bennet at the beginning of the summer term, both have settled in fantastically well to the team.
Clare Hedges has temporarily gone over to the primary school to be a TA in the reception class for the duration of the Autumn term, she will return to us in January 2022.
We have made huge changes to the outdoor space at pre-school, starting with the removal of The Pirate Ship. It had unfortunately become unsafe for children to play on, especially in wet weather when it would become extremely slippery. PR had the idea to ask the children what they would like in the garden and they all voted on their favourites things after the staff made a list of possible options. Some of these have already been put in place including a reading nest, a gardening corner and a bug hotel. We have also received some lovely wooden planters donated by the Men’s Shed.
Finally, we would like to say thank you again to everyone who has supported Pre-School over the past year. We are confident we can have another successful year seeing the children thrive in a supportive environment where staff and parents work alongside for the benefit of the children.

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
