Section D                      Achievements and performance 

## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

This year the Pre-school continues to develop the excellent provision of services provided to early years children in the village of Rudgwick. 

We have ensured that all children have access to a full range of material and activities to follow the EYFS. 

As ever, staff have attended a number of training courses to embed knowledge and gain further ideas of how to increase the support and offering they are able to provide the children and their families. We maintain good links with the Primary School. 

Continued updates to communications from website to newsletters and the parish magazine ensure that the presence of the preschool is promoted to those in the local area. 

Events and fundraising have begun to get back to ‘normal’ post-Covid. Those that do take place we use the money received to replenish toy stock and improve the facilities available to the children and staff. 

We have benefitted from donations from the Rotary club and The Coop for which we are extremely grateful.
