Section D                      Achievements and performance 

**Autum Term Summary of the main** We opened on Wednesday and Thursdays for full days from reopening in **achievements of the charity** September due to there being an increase in numbers as the funding **during the year** accessible to parents has changed. Now more 2 year olds are attending the setting. This has altered the staff to child Ratios, we work 1-4 for 2 yr olds and 1-8 for 3 year olds.. Staff have been working with outside agencies to support a number of children with speech and language delays. We held a Christmas Nativity with the children and performed this in the Village Church for the families. We raised £57 from the children designing Christmas cards and the families purchasing them 

## **Spring Term** 

We requested Specialist Support from Education Bradford, due to the number of children attending the setting that have additional needs. Applied for COOP Funding but unfortunately we were not successful in our application **Summer** Successful open morning to generate interest for September. We did a sponsored Obstacle Course with the children to raise some funds for resources for the Preschool and we raised £297. We were visited by Into the wild as an educational enhancement to the children’s learning. We Had two transition days for the children moving up to nursery in the village school. We held a tots to teens Disco as an end of term treat for the children. **Main Fundraising Events** Christmas card designs £57 Sponsored Obstacle Course £297 **Grants** We have not had any grants this year

objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. 

## **Section F                     Other optional information** 

The pre-school has had no grants this year so moving forward we look for more opportunities for local grants. However only three fundraising events were organised so this needs to be increased for the next year.
