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 Our numbers remain healthy with 33 on roll at the
end of the year and 12 Pre-schoolers starting School
at the beginning of September. Happy, competent,
and individual learners was a result of the
difference we have made since those children and
families stepped through our door.
Throughout the year various fun learning topics
were covered including: All about me, Woodland
animals, Superheroes, Valentines and Mini beasts.
We had caterpillars in the setting,
the children watched the caterpillars turn into
beautiful butterflies and we let them go free. We
celebrated Chinese New Year, Scottish burns night,
Pancake Day and pumpkin carving/soup which
included some delicious food tasting sessions. Our
afternoon sessions have a daily focus including
village walks, cookery, science fun, music and
movement, sensory and messy play.
We also had a visit from the local veterinarian
nurse.
Our annual celebrations included our Christmas
Singalong at St Mary’s Church and our Summer trip
to Moors ValleyCountryPark in June 2023. We

were also able to have our annual apple pressing day in Autumn 2022. We continue our links and support with the local and wider community. Staff training has seen staff continue their professional development throughout the year, to support and develop knowledge and support the children’s needs that are in our care, plus networking with other colleagues from other settings to share best practice.
