How effective are we in protecting our children from harm and neglect and how do we keep them safe? Our linking sessions with 'big' school have been changed to mornings so that parents can now drop them off there at 9.00a.m. Luncheon Club Supervisors come across to 'big'school to help us return the children to pre-school for their lunch so making staff - children ratios high. All staff/volunteers are police checked and volunteers/students on work experience are never alone with any child. The village hall had a CCTV camera installed which includes the entrance and pre-school door. Visitors to the pre-school are now recorded. We have put up new fencing around the play area and chopped down a dead tree. We have a new computer, monitor and software for the children so enabling the computer to be out at every session. Further to our Accreditation statements we have reassessed and amended our Child Protection Policy.		How are we helping them make a positive contribution to our provision and the wider community? We continue to have strong links with Wilsden Primary School enabling children feel confident and positive when they attend there in September. We have continued to consolidate our rules with the children making them aware of the consequences of unacceptable behaviour. We introduced certificates and smiley stampers to recognise good work/ achievements/good behaviour. We held our Christmas Nativity at the local church and 175 people attended. We held a version of our Christmas Nativity and performed it for the older people in our village who attend the Tuesday Luncheon Club. We held a Christmas Nativity for our younger children and invited parents, children, friends and the Toddler Group from the village hall. We made a DVD of both our Christmas Nativities and sold to parents as a fund raiser. We linked with 'big' school for a joint Chinese New Year and Easter party.
