Our setting has continued to provide an excellent foundation in preparation for transition to our wonderful nursery school allowing children to build relationships with staff and familiarise themselves with the school environment. This year staff have continued to focus on the importance of transition with children at Playclub completing weekly transition sessions into the nursery. This has been facilitated by both our Playclub and School staff who have worked together to ensure our children have had a successful and smooth transition into their next phase of education. Our After-School club setting continues to welcome students from all year groups attending the school allowing all year groups to integrate together as part of one Blessed William Davies school family. The roll out of a five-day provision has been a great success in 2023-24. We continue to update our facilities at Playclub, a new kitchen and updates to our outside area including artificial grass this year has allowed our children to play outside during the wet winter months. We are also currently in the process of obtaining a grant to update the toilet facilities and add further updates and expansion to our outdoor facilities. The team are experienced and qualified in all aspects of Childcare development, including First Aid, Food hygiene and Child Protection. Our team are committed to continued professional development and are currently enrolled on a Welsh Language development course, supporting our Cymraeg curriculum. A structured day at Playclub is planned to include; creative and imaginative play, indoor and outdoor activities, quiet times and social meal/snack times. MW Sports provided another successful Sport Day for Playclub, at Christmas time parties for the children included the hire of soft play and a small bouncy castle providing our children with excellent entertainment. Our initial pilot of Clwb Haf last Summer was a great success which enabled us to roll out a pilot of Clwb Pasg at Easter. Both providing opportunities for childcare during school holidays allowing our children to play in familiar surroundings cared for by staff that know and understand their needs. Due to the success of both provisions, a full roll out will commence again this Summer and into next academic year. As Chair of the Trustees, it gives me great pleasure to witness the Playclub grow from strength-to-strength. The Playclub has very strong links with the School allowing our children to integrate together as one Blessed William Davies family. My sincere thanks and congratulations to the entirety of staff body who work tirelessly to ensure that the Playclub continues to thrive. Once again thank you for your continued support and most of all for allowing us the pleasure of looking after your children. Mrs Rachel Tuliva Chair ## **Social Media** We have recently launched a new social media account for our Playclub, your support in giving us a follow and sharing amongst family, friends and the community would be very much appreciated. This will really help our setting to grow.
