Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievement We continued to manage the Setting so we could stay open for
of the charity during the year
our families, the pandemic reduced staff numbers to an all time
low and we asked families to consider our situation. Most chose to
keep their children at home until our staff recovered. Children
were given online learning opportunities with staff providing
videos of the Setting to keep the children familiar with the
environment.
We continued to be recommended by local childcare agencies for
SEND children due to our effective planning for their care. The
higher needs funding allows us to provide specific staff to support
these children directly and purchase appropriate resources to be
fully inclusive.
We employed a senior practitioner to oversee the Bungalow staff
on the floor and offer a unified approach. This was a great
success, allowing our senior staff to keep on top of the constant
changes and demands on their safeguarding and special needs
roles.
We purchased a pergola to offer some specific outdoor learning
space.
Section E Financial review
Brief statement of the charity’s Our reserves are prioritised for covering redundancies and notice
policy on reserves
of rent, if we have to close.
Any funds outside of this are used to improve the Setting for the
children by updating our provision with new resources, projects
and equipment.
