talk wth the children about their interests and activities", help children to experience and benefrt from the activities.. allow the children to explore and be adventurous in a safe and stimulating environment. There are three intakes to the Pre School over the course of the year, though of course many start in Septembei and continue through the year and depending on their age may stay up to two or three years. The Summer term (April lo Juty 2021} comprised 23 children. The Autumn term (September to December 2021} we had 16 children. The Spring term (January to March 20221 provided pr&schooling to 19 children. This included approximately 50D/o from disadvantaged backgrounds (low income. English as a second language, additional support needs, lone parents). The Pre School is situate(l in an area of economic deprivation which is also culturally and ethnically diverse. This diversty is reflected amongst the children attending the pr&school and amongst the staff gFOUP. The ethnictties represented among the children were.. Indian, mixed race, English. Irish, Chinese. Pakistani. East European, African. The ethnicities represented amongst the staff gioup are Indian. Egypban, Irish, English. African and Pakistani. A comprehensive programme is provided each academic year to up to 40 children (24 for the morning session and 16 for the afternoon session). All the children have the benefit of social interaction logether wilh other children and adults within a friendly and caring communtty-based group. They live. play, work and ￿arn together, building on what shelhe already knows and can th. Each child was supported in developing their learning and experiences in line with Ihe development areas ofthe new Eady Years Foundation Stage, which started September 2021. Our provision reflects the thr￿ key themes. This encompasses". communicats"on, language physical development Personal, social and Emotional development Literacy Development. Mathematic Development.. knowledge of the world", ', and Expressive Art and Design (New EYFS September 2021) A personal key person makes sure each child makes satisfying progress. Progress is assessed and recorded through daily observation and monitoring. The setting keeps a record of achievement for each child which is shared through regular communication with the child's family. The Pre School works closely with families to resolve any difficulties. for example in settling at the pre-school or any behaviour issues. As part of the setting's poiicy to make sure that tts provision meets the needs of each individual child, we take account of any special needs a child may have. The setting works lo the requirements of the 1993 Education Act and The Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice (20141. A designated special educational needs c(>ordinator works with the children and staff to ensurfrthat the children's needs are met within the setting. There were 5 children with swial edLtcational needs attending the Pre School duiing the year. Our SEN co-ordinator also works with various external agencies such as Speech therapist, our area SENCO, Early Years Teaching team andlor paediatrician to asses and plan for each SEN child in our care.

There were regular OppOrtun￿e$ for local trips and to join in the life of the community. Community activities included trips to the local park. the neighbouring church, the neightKJuiing Multlcu￿Ural centre to take part in their Diwali celebrations, the temple. and the Chinese superstore during Chinese New Year, The local mosque, the local library, shopping and road safety trainir¥J. In July 2021, a good number of our children left the Pre School to take up pla￿$ in local primary schools. Pr&school staff used the summer term programme to prepare these children and their families for the nexi stage of their education. They also acknowledged their achievemenls with a combined Sports and Graduation Day, attended by parents, carers and extended families. Pre School staff also liaised with the schools to make the transition smooth and slress-free for the children and their families. part¢cularly where there were additional support needs. Parents are also invtted to participate in parents, rola, to attend a session a tenn and contribute lo the Pre School's activities. It is an opportunlty for them to share their cultural traditions, such as Diwali, Eid through a story. cooking or craft. It also enables them to see how their child relates in a group setting. The setting re￿1v￿ a 'good' rating from Ofsted in 2018. During the year of 2021- 2022. our partnership wtth our local communrty organizations was still limrted due to Covid 19. Summary of the main achievements: 1. We took part in dtfferent local learning and development programmes such as Be Active Matters and Moving Matters {both promoting physical development, fine motor skills and Core Muscles). 2. We took part in Barnet Early Years Healthy prcgramme that promote healthy eating as well as physic21 wellbeing children. 3.

Different memt*rs of staff attended various training courses to enhance their practi￿. 5. Staff qualifications". four of the staff are level 3 or above, which is in excess of the legal requirement. We have 6 first aid trained members of staff. wrth one more to be added in the year. All members of staff have been trained for chitd protection and one committee member. 6. Parents meetings were held and the parent rota was set up. 7. It was a good fundraising year with various small events such as sponsored walks, sport day, Christmas and Easter fair. 8. We have teen exploring po%ibilities for additional funding through grants and local businesses. AKhough the local authority has changed the rules and it has been extremely drffi¢ult for us to gain any extra fund. Page 6 of 16

1. Since Cov5d 19. our 2021-2022 intakes showed a sharp drop in children number. We did not have enough children especially for the aftemTh)n sessions. This put some strain on our finances. Charity's policy on Reserves: The pre-school holds 2 reserve to cover periods of low income due lo drop in children's numbers. These resetves will allow the pre-school to operate for a period of three months. Fund5 materially in deficit: Net funds were in deficrt for the year £23.029. Further financial review: The pr&school's main sources of funding are the fees paid by parents as well as the Nursery Fund paid by the local authority (Bamet) for children aged three to rising 5. The government inlroduc*d a new fund for some working parents who are eligible for 30 hours fund. Our pre-school is taking part in this scheme to help our communty. The pr&school 2150 L￿nefftS frorn the government's scheme of fvnding ￿ year old children who are in need; this fund also comes through 8amet council. There is also a small fund that comes through Special Educakn'onal Needs whenever the pre- school has children wrth special educational needs. This type of funding has an aim to get an extra support for that child erther by employing an extra rnember of staff, to release the key WOTker foi or)e to one support or buying special reSoUr￿S to meet the child's individual needs. Yet the fund has been restrict￿1 the financial year and the pre-school had to self fund the extra care for most of the SEN children. The committee as well as the staff arrange for various fundraising occasions throughout the year such as sponsored walks, photo sales. Christmas and Summer fairs. The pre-school also us8J to appty for any grants whenever it comes up such as the Capital grant. These types of grants however have been stopped and the pre-school needs to depend mainly on fees.
