| 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 | After restructuring the preschool in 2017, it has moved from strength to strength. We are now in a more financially secure position. We have provided both in setting and Forest school provision to our children. We have (covid restrictions permitting) also been able to offer Forest School sessions to the local childminders. As several local preschools have closed we have been able to offer childcare to those families affected. As our numbers of children attending have increased, we have also been able to hire additional staff. |
