Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	Since the relaxation of Covid restrictions, we have been able to reconnect with the wider community. This has enabled us to visit the local school, the library in the next village and the local park. The 3/4-year-olds attend the local school to take part in their pre-school activities. They also engage in forest school and regularly come across the wider community when out and about. This is a great opportunity for the children to engage and for them to be seen representing the nursery.
