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.

Section E
Financial review
Pre-school have a reserve policy In place which currently has a shortfall,
due to the annual increase In rent and food prlces and the sharp increase
In the National Living Wage, which are unfortunately not followed with
Increased NEF.
Brlef statement of the chartys
pollcy on ￿SerVeS
However, there has been a small increase in the NEF recently, the salaries
of the new staff will not be quite as high as the long term. more
experienced staff we have lost and the influx of applications will see an
increase in revenue. All monies go back into the running of the setting
and to pay for new
resources.
