Cheshire Community Foundation - Grant to Whitley Community Preschool

They spend as much of the day as possible outdoors and being active to aid the children's mental health and wellbeing. The children can enjoy an outdoor play area and also an outdoor kitchen area, it is a fantastic time for the children to be able to develop their social skills while playing with friends outdoors, therefore developing their life skills ready for their transition into mainstream education. During winter months when the weather isn't suitable for as much outdoor play the focus is on children's yoga and dance indoors to help the children in expressing themselves. The project will help purchase more outdoor equipment for the children. Many of the children that have recently joined have had little to no time away from their families due to Covid, which also means they have experienced much less than children in previous years. The grant will pay for extra equipment that children may not have seen before, helping improve their physical and mental health. It will also allow the preschool to welcome some providers to talk to the children about being active, sports and general wellbeing.
