Little did we know then, that we wouldn&#8217;t return until 29th June 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout March and the months that followed to June, we lived in uncertain times like everyone, not knowing when and how we could return safely to the group. However, we did, and I would like to thank our wonderful Management Committee who have helped us to return safely.<\/p>\n<p>Wenvoe Playgroup CIO is a registered charity, belonging to the residents of Wenvoe and run by the Parents of children who attend the setting. We also have many people in our village who support the Playgroup year after year, helping with our Website and fundraising. We are grateful for all the support that everyone together provides, to make it the success it is today.<\/p>\n<p>Writing this, we are now near the end of summer term. We have successfully operated the last three weeks, working with 16 children in two groups of 8 at the Village Hall. Children returned and adapted well to the new routines, being happy to return to the familiar setting with their Aunties, relaying all their experiences and stories from the past 3 months.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward into September, we will be re-opening on Monday 7th September. Some of our services may take a little while to put in place, however, we will do our best to return to &#8216;normal&#8217; as soon as possible. We will re-open our waiting lists into September as we move forward.<\/p>\n<p>The 30 Hour Free Childcare Offer closed to new applicants at the end of March, however, they hope to be open once more by the end of August.
