Once again this year has been very challenging due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The playgroup reopened in September 2020 however the uptake of places has been much less than previous years. During the year the playgroup has been used by children from the age of 2years 3 months. Children from the local community and nearby villages have attended. Playgroup operates MondayThursday from 9.15am-11.45am, term time only. The Playgroup Plus session operates from January – July to deliver the 30Hour Childcare Offer. The Parent and Toddler group on a Friday morning did not re-open until March 21 due to Covid regulations in place for the community building we use. The parent and Toddler Group is the feeder group for Playgroup. Children attending are encouraged to register to attend playgroup when they reach 2yrs 3months.
The playgroup was last inspected by CIW our Registered Body in December 2019. We received a very positive report with no requirements or measures required. During this year we have received a telephone “Catch up”. We have kept regular contact to ensure that we continue to be compliant.
We have continued to carry out fundraising activities, mainly online. We have sought grant funding to assist sustainability.
We have employed a new member of staff who will replace our Playgroup Lead Supervisor while she is on Maternity Leave.
We predict that there are still challenging times ahead of us both financially and for the day to day management of the setting, however, as a committee we will continue to work diligently, to continue the sustainability of Bradley Playgroup.
