OPEN DOOR FAMILY CENTRE TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Review of the year It is pleasing to report on another year of steady progress.

Secondly, our focus on investing in and prioritising the training and competence of our staff and the effectiveness of our nursery provision to provide the best possible experience to the children and families we serve has delivered a service of which our entire team is rightly proud and provides a solid base upon which to build. Our operational focus during this year has remained on the continuing challenges to maintain numbers in the face of competition from comparable facilities in Welshpool. We have continued to plan for the operational challenges by seeking to maintain operational excellence in all we do through investment in staff training and meeting best practices standards and governance excellence. It was pleasing to secure renewal of our contract to provide Foundation Learning services; the result of much hard work by our Centre Manager and the wider team who worked with her. l am indebted to my fellow Trustees for their sage counsel and hard work and to our staff for their dedication in meeting these challenges and their untiring efforts to deliver excellent care to the children and their familie5 using our seNices as well as their support to me. At the close of the financial year we report on here, we bid farewell to a long standing and valued colleague who has been a mainstay of our services and care for children.
