Our main activity is to deliver, within our fully inclusive setting for 6 month–5 year olds, the Early Year Foundation Stage. In order to do this we employ a childcare manager and practitioners who undertake joint daily planning of activities to meet the needs and interests of the children attending our setting. We deploy a key person approach to ensure that the progress and well-being of all individual children is constantly monitored and feeds into future planning. We ensure that our staff are well trained and hence able to successfully meet the needs of the children in our care. We promote the importance of the learning environment and endeavour **Summary of the main** to make this as stimulating as possible. We listen to the views of children, **activities undertaken for the** parents and staff and use this feedback to inform our improvement work. **public benefit in relation to** We accurately assess our children and provide this information to SCC **these objects (include within** as requested. **this section the statutory** We develop positive relationships with parents and carers and invite **declaration that trustees have** them into our setting on a regular basis as observers or helpers.

There was no demand of the pre-school so we made the decision to close. During the lock down period the Pre-school continued to communicate with the children through our social media Face Book page and emails. We posted challenges and activities for the parents/carers to complete with the children. The staff were recorded reading books which were posted on the FB page. (We received great feed back from the parents/carers re their children's reactions at seeing the staff). We asked the parents/carers to post their child’s completed works on to their Tapestry site. We did open up 18[th] June 2020 offering a service to those who were happy to venture out. Quite a few of the parents/carers were unsure and felt safer to stay home. We continued to post activities through FB and emails. We came back in September for the start of the new Autumn term 2020. We put in place hand gel stations and recorded temperatures taken on entry. Parents/Carers and staff all wore masks and maintained 2 metres distancing during drop off and collection. It was a very strange time for the children, but they were really good with all the adjustments and coped really well. At March 2020 36 children were registered for Pre-School and 3 babies registered in the baby room. (21[st] July 2020 18 children left Pre-School to start Primary school September 2020). At February 2021 30 children were registered for pre--school and 6 babies in the baby room.
