In planning our delivery against the Early Years Foundation Stage, we have been. mindful of the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit and we review our activities against this each year. - In addition to our main priority of providing a Playgroup for local children 5 days a week, we organise and run fundraising events to raise funds for our setting.

We have set up a parent rota for Thursday and Tuesday mornings, whereby each parent has the choice to volunteer in our setting. The aim of this is supporting the children with their play and to better understand the setting and how it operates. ## You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about: - e policy on grantmaking; - e policy programme related investment; - e contribution made by volunteers. . ## Section D ## Achievements and performance ## Summary P of the main achievements of the charity during the year **----- Start of picture text -----**

## Staffing & spending The manager and staff have an excellent grasp of staffing ratios to children; this knowledge and application of it ensures we continue to manage the staffing budget as efficiently as possible, on a half termly basis. The committee voted a small payrise for the staff, we feel this is good for morale and keeps the staff happy and working hard. We are trying to achieve the living wage for our employees. In response to the lack of adequate remuneration for children on “free hours” the hourly rate for those paying was increased. ## Supervisions, appraisals & training Manager and chair meet regularly to discuss the day to day running of playgroup. All staff have received a supervision each half term. An opportunity for each member of staff to discuss with the manager or chair, what they have achieved since the previous supervision, goals for next term, how these are going to be achieved and any concerns or worries they have with the aim being to resolve those worries. We have sent another member of staff on a special needs (SENTA) course, to become more aware of those children who may need additional support. We feel this enhances what the playgroup offers to the community. ## Develop relationships with parents The parent rota continues to be an excellent opportunity for parents to support staff in the setting and to see their child at play and to interact with the daily running of playgroup. Staff, find it a real help to have an additional parent in the room. ## A safe and well managed setting The committee and staff’s knowledge ensure we all support each other to ensure we meet our constitution, follow all the legal requirements, train staff regularly, follow our policies and procedures and make playgroup a happy and safe place to work. | / * Section E A ## Financial review We aim to hold sufficient financial reserves to sustain the running of Brief statement of the playgroup if income falls below expected levels, to meet redundancy charity’s policy on reserves obligations and future planning towards alternative accommodation/rental costs Details of any funds materially in deficit Further financial review details (Optional information) You may choose to include The main source of income is Nursery Education Funding from the _ wa: ; ; County Council and fees from parents.
