| Ofsted/SEF | We continue to self evaluate even though this is no longer required to be shared with ofsted. We action plan and evaluate our practice continuously. We asked parents to share their views by filling out a questionnaire based on their own experiences of the setting. We had good feedback overall. |

| Purchases/changes | In January 2022 we hired a company to come and remove 3 old sheds and resources. These sheds were becoming unfit for purpose. Also in January 2022, we had a local carpentry company design and install a wooden structure – The Den. This replaced the old sheds. The Den provides an under cover space suitable for all children and also, storage for resources. In April 2022, we decided that the grass area in front of The Den, had the potential to decrease the life expectancy of the Den due to the mud in the colder months being brought into the structure. We had artificial grass installed in this area only |

| 30 hour funding | We continue to use the government funding scheme for 30 hours childcare for eligible families. We also accept childcare vouchers and payment via tax free childcare accounts, supported by the government scheme. Our current rates stayed the same with a review planned for September 2023 |
