Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Our Year has still been restricted due to a low intake of children and the timing of 3-4 year old funding. In September 2023 our number of children was the lowest we have ever had 9 children were on role. By April 2024 the numbers had started to improve due to a lot of 2 year olds starting.
We were very low on income so no staff traing took place. Staff have not had any increases in salary since 2018 apart from the NMW increase.
