MADE4U IN ML2 - Y/E Annual Report 2019

Toddlers’ Group
Our Parent and Toddlers’ group has long been a staple of our
MADE4U provision. In the last number of years, we have seen
numbers and ages of those who attend change, mostly due to
the Scottish Government’s policy of now providing preschool
children with free nursery places. This led to the group
taking a short break beween July - December 2018 with a
view to relaunch. We are pleased to say that the group was
relaunched by two mum-volunteers, with the support of
Adele. The group is now going from strength to strength -
raising much of its own funds, contributing to centre vision
and strategy, and most importantly, reaching many more
children and their guardians.
“Tots of Fun @ ML2” have diversified the programme,
grown the numbers attending, have organised trips and aactivities themselves, and have
started to also offer Messy Play activities to the children and their older siblings outside
term-time. We’re so pleased with what is happening with this group and are excited to
cheer them on in all that’s to come.
Holiday Club
Our Sahara Survivors! Holiday Club was a lot of
fun. Overall, we welcomed almost 70 children to our
activities during the week, reached an average of 60
per day and operated with over 20 volunteers!
Each day we had the kids from 10-2, and during that
time we kept them busy with games, crafts, bible stories, songs and crazy dances, and
lots of team competitions - many of which resulted in pies to the face for team members
and a daily gunging for the losing leader.
Holiday Club has grown
to be one of our most
successful yearly
events, and the one most
anticipated by parents and
children alike.
