Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
The financial year April 2020– 2021 was unprecedented for all, including Luxulyan Preschool who following government guidelines for COVID-19 closed in March 2020. After the Easter break spaces were offered and preschool re-opened with limited hours for key worker children, until a gradual re-opening mid-May, with increased safety and hygiene procedures following all guidelines continuously.
Preschool were then able to continue to offer children their places for the rest of the 20-21 year without further closures. There were also zero reported COVID cases amongst staff and children in this period.
We have continued to provide childcare and early years’ education to local children, even during lockdown resource were made available, and online story telling was set up.
Some children received the 2 year old funding, others the 3-4 year old funding and some were paid sessions. We were fortunate to continue to receive the funding during lockdown period, and so able to continue to pay our staff full wages, without the need for a furlough scheme.
The number of children on the books has fluctuated throughout the financial year reaching 27 children registered with the preschool by the end of the year.
