BBH Pre-school Trustees’ Annual Report
In planning our activities for the year we keep in mind the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit. Our charitable Purpose is the Advancement of holistic education. We work under the guidance of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Our overarching aim is to help young children from the age of 1 to 5 years, achieve their full potential in the prime and specific areas of the EYFS development ages and stages. To making a positive contribution and achieving economic wellbeing. We strongly encourage a framework of partnership working between parents and professionals and between all the settings that a child may attend. Parents are encouraged to be involved in their child's learning and development, as we recognise that they are the child's main educator and know their children best. This is achieved in a number of ways, from inviting parents to take part in sessions, sending home diaries so that parents can see what their child has been doing and contribute with what they have been doing at home. All children have a designated key person which parents/cares can talk to about their child, through our open-door policy; this is also supported by a number of key person meetings which are arranged throughout the year.
We lay a secure foundation for future learning and development which is planned around the individual needs and interests of the children; this is informed by the use of ongoing observational assessments. We look carefully at the children in our care, consider their needs, interests, and characteristics of effective learning, their stages of development, using all of the information to plan a challenging and enjoyable experience across all the areas of learning and development.
We welcome children and families from all backgrounds regardless of faith, gender or personal circumstances. We are an equal opportunity organisation committed to providing an environment which is free from any kind of discrimination, making reasonable adjustments to meet the needs of the children and staff team. Through a comprehensive performance management cycle, the professional development of our staff team is given high priority with all members attending at least 3 training courses throughout the year. This enables us to continue delivering a quality service and keep abreast with ever changing government legislation.
The preschool works in collaboration which the local community and services, which include supporting the village library and taking part in the Parish Council’s, village events and competitions. The children visit the church and we hold our Christmas concert here too. The preschool has strong links to the village’s primary school where the majority of our children transfer to.
