Section D. Achievements and performance Summary of the maln achlevements of the charlty during the year Due to Covid we have seen a slight decline in the last couple of years in the number of chlldren applylng for preschool. We have therefore disabled our catchment area policy to attract children from outside if the local area, whlch has resulted In an increase In applications. We now have a healthy waiting Ilst and foresee all of our spaces being taken by January 2024 thls year, with a waiting Ilst for applicants to start in September 2024. The chlldren learn about and celebrated cultural events through crafts, singing and story-time. We offer free play sesslon and some key worker lead activities. Supervisor has a level 4 and is continuing with her diploma. All other staff includlng 1 bank staff member all have their level 3 CCLD. Staff complete regular training contributing to their continuous development programme. All staff are signed up to our Nest pension scheme. Wages have been taken in house to save money. One member of staff has left our employment to continue full time employment in her first job which offers considerably more pay. A member of bank staff has left to pursue full tome employment elsewhere. Our deputy supervisor has also retired We have employed 2 new members of staff to fill these vacancies and an additional bank staff member. New resources have been purchased to replace old resources due to age, wear and tear, with a recent successful Parish Council Grant application to assist with the cost of these. TAR March 2012
