Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
2024-2025 has been a busy year as we continue to deliver the EYFS, the number of funded and non-funded children on register was lower, therefore, budgets and staffing levels were adjusted accordingly. We continue to monitor Childrens’ needs and training for staff as required.
The ongoing recording system for tracking children’s progress has ensured that all children have made excellent progress within the EYFS. Our hope is that this will continue to improve the outcomes for the children and their families who attend our setting.
Fundraising events were held to aid purchase of equipment and resources.
As expected, we recorded a profit, which further strengthened the groups’ financial position and we remain a sound, sustainable setting.
