BRADLEY PLAYGROUP - REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER CIO 1179530
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR TO 31ST AUGUST 2022.
Bradley Playgroup operates in Bradley Village Hall, LL11 4BB. It is privately managed by a voluntary committee and is registered by Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) under part 2 of the Children and Families (Wales) Measure 2010 to provide day care as an incorporated organisation. Responsible individuals: Claire Harrison and Vervaine Edwards.
(Person in charge on a day to day basis: Amy Levey.) Voluntary committee members/trustees:
Chairman Claire Harrison Secretary Catherine Guy Treasurer Vervaine Edwards Committee members Jane Pritchard, Kathryn Millington, Leigh-Ann Jones, Karen Whitby, Jacqueline Hesp, Emma Garcia, Rachel Edwards, Andrea Carlton.
The object of the charity is: “Empowering children to take their first steps on to their learning ladder” Aims:
Provide high quality day care that enhances the development, care and education of pre-school children in a safe and stimulating environment, where they learn through play in partnership with parents/carers.
Welcome parents/carers who want to become directly involved in the activities of the provision and provide opportunities to do so.
Encourage parents/carers to understand and provide for the needs of their children. Embrace the ethos and principles of Early Years Wales.
Once again this year has been challenging due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The uptake of places has been much less than previous years and parents have not had the opportunity to become involved in the day to day sessions. We have again been pro-active with social media to promote the group and give parents information.
Children from the local community and nearby villages have attended.
Playgroup sessions are held Monday-Thursday from 9.15am-11.45am, term time only. Children can attend from the age of 2yrs 3months.
Playgroup Plus session operate from January – July to deliver the 30Hour Childcare Offer. The Parent and Toddler group sessions are held on a Friday morning. 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.
The Playgroup was last inspected by Estyn in June 2016. We received a zoom “Inspection Conversation” in January 2021.
Playgroup continues to prepare for the introduction of the “New Curriculum” in September 2022. We were asked to take part in the “Pilot Phase” which we found most informative and helpful for the staff.
We have been successful in our tender application to deliver Funded Early Education for the period September 2022- August 2026. We look forward to, once again, being part of this initiative.
We have continued to carry out fundraising activities and sought grant funding to assist sustainability.
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.
Vervaine Edwards, Responsible Individual and Treasurer. For and on behalf of the Playgroup Committee. - September 7[th] 2022.
