TURVEY PRE-SCHOOL PLAYGROUP

Charities Commission – Trustee’s Report

Year ending August 2020

The academic year ending August 2020 saw Turvey Preschool, and the wider community, face the unprecedented challenges of the coronavirus pandemic. As per government instruction Turvey Preschool closed its doors to the majority of children on 23[rd] March 2020. However, the team continued to support the wellbeing of all children by providing regular updates, suggesting learning activities, and keeping the families of preschool in the loop with coronavirus guidance updates, all of which was hugely appreciated.

The Preschool team provided critical care for the families of the local communities in the form of a critical workers provision. The decision was made to offer this support alongside, and located at, Turvey Primary School. Three members of the team ran this provision and provided consistent, familiar and crucial care to those families at what was a very unsettling time. Other members of the team were furloughed. Members of staff continued to develop their professional personal development through a range of online courses whilst preschool was not operating as usual. The Preschool premises and resources also underwent a deep clean and sorting operation to allow for the safe reopening. The preschool was able to reopen on 1[st] June 2020. Staff were consulted and returned from furlough as the children’s numbers increased. One member of staff remained on furlough until the Autumn of 2020.

The earlier part of the academic year 2019-20 saw almost a polar opposite of the later stages of the year. The academic year began with a successful AGM held at the preschool in October 2019, parents were invited for a drink and nibbles whilst receiving updates from the preschool and admiring work and scrapbooks of the children. The AGM also saw the formation of a new committee.

The earlier part of the year also saw huge successes on the fundraising front; the 50[th] anniversary ball, which had been a long time in the planning, was a tremendous success and raised approximately £1800. The evening was enjoyed by many and huge thanks goes to the fundraising team who worked tirelessly to create such a brilliant event. Likewise, Preschool ran a refreshment stall at Turvey fireworks display, a successful Christmas shopping evening, a wreath making evening and a fantastic quiz and ploughman’s. These events, again, were enjoyed by the wider community and could not have taken place without the hard work and commitment of the staff and fundraising team. The proceeds of these events culminated in achieving our fundraising target of £90,000 to purchase our building, The Reading Room, and will go towards installment payments and long-term commitments to maintaining the building. Christmas at preschool also saw a wonderfully performed nativity and Christmas party for children.

The reopening of pre-school on 1[st] June saw a ‘new normal’ within preschool, with smaller bubbles, reduced, but thought through, resources and new and rigorous hygiene and cleaning routines to keep both staff, children and families safe. By the end of the summer term, around half of the children had returned in two bubble groups, which given such a strange situation was a great ‘normal’ for many. Before and after school club continued to remain closed to ensure bubble consistency and safety. The staff and committee regularly reviewed routines, suggested guidance, and regularly kept families in the loop with any changes and advice.

Despite the national restrictions being in place pre-school was able to provide a good transition to local schools for our leavers. The relationship with Turvey Primary remains particularly strong. A number of children did leave for primary school; however numbers continued to look to be stable for September. A number of new enquires were received. Marketing continues to be in place in community newsletters and on social media. Group sizes are limited to ensure flexibility in planning and allow the staff to respond to the children’s individual needs and interests. Staff continue to meet on Monday afternoons to discuss issues, share information and training, and plan for the coming weeks. The staff team continues to be very strong. The committee and staff are continuing to plan for the next academic year, with fundraising and marketing opportunities being discussed.

The past year has posed incredible challenges but it is through the hard work and commitment of the staff that the end of the year has finished positively and safely. No doubt there will be continued evolvement and challenges into the next academic year.
