|Summary ofthe main<br>achievements<br>ofthe charity|||Manager's<br>Report<br>September 2020- July 2021|
|during the|year||We returned<br>in September<br>adhering<br>to strict COVID guidelines|
||||New trikes, scooter etc with money donated from previous year.|
||||Celebrated<br>Diwali, Children<br>in Need, Nursery<br>Rhyme Week, Made|
||||decorations<br>and spoke about Christmas<br>and the Nativity Story.|
||||Unfortunately,<br>due to a heating failure within the building<br>we were unable|
||||to open on Monday 7~ December.<br>After consultation<br>with the Landlords|
||||regrettably<br>work to rectify this issue could not be completed<br>until that|
||||month.<br>This meant that we were unable to open until January 2021. All|
||||ofthe children received door stop visits with a Christmas<br>present.|
||||Children<br>and parents were contacted regularly<br>via Tapestry.<br>All|
||||remaining<br>training<br>days were cancelled.|
||||On the 4~ January<br>with the announcement<br>ofa further national<br>lockdown,|
||||early years education was excluded from the stay at home order and we|
||||were to continue to operate as normal.<br>However,<br>understandably|
||||parents were reluctant to send their children<br>during the height ofthe|
||||pandemic.|
||||We had anticipated<br>26 on role in Jan, in reality 16parents chose to keep|
||||their children at home, so our daily figures ranged from 4-8children.|
||||The majority ofstaff were put on a rota and those eligible were flexi|
||||furloughed<br>in proportion<br>to our loss ofearnings<br>from fee payers. Weekly|
||||activities online|
||||Weekly telephone<br>welfare checks|
||||Toy and activity packs forthose EYPP|
||||All staff meetings were undertaken<br>via Zoom|
||||At the start of March children<br>began to return.<br>Due to the strict COVID|
||||protocols we were unable to accept any new starters.<br>All staff|
||||commenced<br>twice weekly Lateral Flow testing|
||||We were able to remain open until 8~ July.|
||||Activities during this period included<br>World Book Day which we extended|
||||for the whole week, where a different book was explored each day. We|
||||celebrated<br>Hoi, Easter and Eid. We renewed<br>our Sunsafe certIcation.|
||||We nurtured<br>caterpillars<br>into butterflies<br>and released them into the|
||||garden.|
||||After Easter we had 4 new starters.<br>A member<br>left in March and we|
||||employed<br>a new Level 3Apprentice.<br>Level 2 placement<br>student<br>in May|
||||one day a week. 2 staff successfully<br>completed<br>First Aid training,|
||||In July we experienced<br>our first positive COVID case. This shut the|
||||setting for the compulsory<br>isolation period, during which afurther 3|
||||staff/children<br>tested positive.<br>All made a complete recovery, however|
||||this did mean we were not able to reopen forthe end ofterm. During this|
||||time, all children were contacted via Tapestry<br>and after the isolation|
||||period were visited by a staff member.<br>Children<br>who were moving on to|
||||school received a small gift and certificate from playgroup.|
