Annual Report

For the past 2 years we have produced an annual report. We have just finished this year’s and once again, I think it makes interesting reading. It’s amazing to discover or remind ourselves of all the things we have been involved in over the past 12 months. I particularly enjoyed reviewing outings and visitors. Staff and children seem to have been out all over the place, Bournemouth being the furthest point. They have travelled by foot, car, bus, train and ferry. We will have to work on air travel this year – hot air balloons, fighter jets, chinook helicopters, large albatrosses maybe? 

Whilst we have highlighted the headline events of the year, by far the most interesting stuff goes on in the day to day activities, routines and conversations around the nurseries.  We do really need to try and capture some more of these, often very amusing and fascinating insights into children’s development. 

We used to keep a book with children’s funny comments in. Many of these are now in children’s Learning Stories books evidencing areas of development but I think maybe we should produce a valuable Paint Pots archive for posterity.

It could be a best seller!
