CONWY PRE-SCHOOL SUPPORT SCHEME
Charity number 1169889 Trustees Report - 2022-23
As in previous years, Conwy Pre-School Support Scheme has been much in demand from parents and pre-school providers for support for young children from the scheme. We are very grateful for funding received from Conwy Education Services, Families First and Flying Start which has enabled us to employ our Support Scheme Co-ordinator and to provide support to pre-school children with additional needs.
The needs of the children we supported ranged from significant speech delay, language and communication difficulties, mental health and well-being concerns, separation anxiety, behavioural difficulties, physical constraints and other issues arising from the Covid 19 lockdown period including social issues. Whilst many of the children were already under the care of Conwy Child Development Centre (CDC) or other health professionals, some children were identified as needing support by childcare providers and we were able to support the providers and parents to access relevant agencies.
With our core funding and additional grants we have enabled children who would otherwise be excluded from pre-school settings due to their additional needs to attend a setting of their choice alongside their peers. Our co-ordinator worked closely with CDC, childcare providers and parents to help meet individual children’s needs, providing support and guidance to parents and settings. We have supported parents at the most difficult time for some; that is when they are just coming to terms with the realisation that their child may be in need of support, or they are having to put their trust in providers to look after their children away from themselves for the first time. We have also been able to signpost to other organisations which can provide further support and guidance to parents, carers and settings.
May we take this opportunity to thank our coordinator for her dedication to the children, parents and childcare practitioners whom we support. Our Coordinator works alone, with only a volunteer committee for support. She coordinates all the different strands of the Scheme, which places demands on reporting and accountability for an increasing number of funding streams. She works with an array of other agencies, whilst always keeping the child at the centre of things. The increasing demands from parents and settings for our services shows the degree of need and she has worked tirelessly to provide them with support and guidance.
We would also like to thank our Committee of volunteers for all their time and effort they have continued to provide throughout the year. We would not be able to continue without their support. Trustees.
