We have always been keen for the parents, carers and grandparents to be fully involved within the group. We were very excited to be able to welcome our parent’s back into the setting. With lots of parent’s signing up to the helperrota and joining us for a morning session. Which has greatly benefited not only the children but has also allowed the parents time to talk freely with their child’s key worker where ideas are offered and shared to help the children progress further at home and it also lets them see exactly what their child gets up to during the session and what they’re interest and fascinations are. In addition to this we are incredibly fortunate to have a pool of mature volunteer helpers, that also bring a wealth of life experience to the setting as they continually offer their help, every week. ## Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** Financially this has been another successful year for the group. Even though the number of children were relatively low when we first returned in September. The staff all reduced their working hours accordingly, although staff/child ratios were constantly observed. Which greatly helped with reducing our wage bill. Numbers of children thankfully grew throughout the year and our reserves remained quite steady in comparison to previous years. We sent a large group of children predominately on to our local primary school. With staff members working closely alongside the teachers and parents offering lots of help with the transitional process. We have reintroduced the opportunity for these children to return to Pepperpot during the staggered starts offered by the local school in September. Which will enable the parents to secure wraparound care, allowing them to fulfil their working commitments. We strive to ensure that the staff members that we employ feel fully appreciated and listened to. We arrange regular staff meetings and we also have individual staff supervision meetings to highlight any difficulties that the staff may be facing alongside their yearly appraisal. All staff are encouraged to complete a variety of childcare courses, throughout the year. We have also invited a couple of students from two local secondary schools, to join us for their work experience week. And we have also offered several students from Norland College the opportunity to join us for their six weekly placements. We feel that this arrangement has greatly benefited the setting, the students and above all the children. Our goal is to continue to provide excellent pre-school education for the children of families throughout the surrounding area. **TAR** March **2012** 4 ## **Section E Financial review** **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** Our Reserves policy remains as is stated in our Constitution, whereby we are required to have sufficient reserves to cover 3 months’ running costs, which is approximately £18,000 At the end of the Financial Year we are in excess of the requirement. ## **Details of any funds materially in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** Our principal funding comes from the EYE (Early Years Entitlement) available You **may choose** to include from our Local Authority (BANES) All children are entitled to 15hrs per week, in additional information, where the term after their third birthday, with some children being eligible to apply relevant about: for 30 hours EYE. • the charity’s principal sources Children not in receipt of any funding or require additional hours, pay £5 per of funds (including any hour. fundraising); • how expenditure has We also charge each family a minimal weekly fee of £1, for all snacks and supported the key objectives of consumables.
