Summary of the purposes of the charity set out in its governing document
Our primary aim is to provide good quality childcare that is affordable for familie5 in this community, and to attract
and maintain an excellent team who in turn provide excellent service. We will consider proposals for growth within
our budget and continue to maintain and enhance our premisis and equipment to ensure we offer a play environment
that is fun but safe and secure to enjoy the latest technology and areas of exploration both indoors and out.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in
particular, the activitiesi projects or services identified in the accounts
We provide a combination of nursery, pre school and wrap around sessional childcare for children aged 9 Months to
11 years old. The sessional care is provided through: Breakfast Club, Preschool, Afterschool Club and Holiday Club
with Nursery provision being full or half day care. We offer play and learning in an environment that encourages
creativity, critical thinking, physical challenges and exploration. Staff are highly trained in EYFS and playwork to
ensu￿ resources and assessments are carried out to the highest standards that Ofsted and the LA require and to
ensure that the children are always making progress on their developmental journey. We also provide CPD for staff
to develop and challenge themselves within the environment and for the chIld￿n in our care. We have developed
to provide flexible childcare that the community demands in the everchanging world of parents. / carers, working
environment. We offer the Government schemes for 2, 3 and 4 year old 15 hours and 30 hours entitlements
including encouraging parents to access childcare under the new reforms from April 2024.
The trustees consider that they have complied with their duties to have due regard to the public benefit guidance
published by the Charity Commission.
Achievements and Performance
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.
Since achieving our Ofsted outstanding grade, and whilst navigating our way through a cost of living crisis for
families and businesses nationwide, the setting has managed to continue to provide affordable and flexible childcare
in a stimulating and nurturing environment for children aged 9months to Ilyears including children that have
additional needs, who are vulnerable or within the care sector. The setting has adapted the way that it works to
ensure that the provision can still be purposeful and enriching to fulfil the children learning potential. The setting
has communication friendly status which allows us to encourage and support the communication needs of all our
children within the setting, with all staff being trained to a high level within this area. Along with this, we are active
participants in the ￿Fy initiative to support children with speech, language and communication needs, and have
now attained Step 3. The manager is now on the board of the Raise York initiative in York which aims to support all
families with children aged 0-25, providing information, advice and support that is accessible for everyone. We have
strong bonds with our families and parents to share this information and hope to make everyone feel supported
through their parenting journey. Staff members are continuing on their CPD journey, accessing training regularly
through the local authority, Eden Training and in house training from various providers. The Deputy manager
has begun a level 6 qualification and the Team leader completed her level 5. We have a reliable, committed and
Passionate leadership team.

Trustees. Annual Report
Financial Review
Review of the charity's financial position at the end of the period
This year has seen the setting continue to achieve positive financial outcomes. We prefict a potential surplus at the
end of the year of around £70,000. Our setting numbers continued to increase this year which has enabled us to
run at capacity and see the highest averages on our databases that we have ever had in the nursery, pre school and
holiday provision. Our waiting list continues to rise as the new childcare reforms have been announced. We have
continued to be part of the HAF grant initiative through York Council to give school aged vulnerable children a healthy
and physical input in the school holidays. Through this initative, we have been able to support 30 children from the
local area in the holidays.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held
We hold reserves for multiple reasons- the main reason being to ensure that in the unfortunate event that the
setting should have to shut down at short notice or through insolvency we would carry enough funds to do this in
an orderly way to care for our beneficiaries. Our reserves policy is important as it shows the public and funders that
we have clarity and openess for holding reserves and to avoid misrepresentation on the setting's financial posltion.
Reserves from time to time can be restricted for the sole use in an event or other opportunities and commitments
to the future sustainability of the setting may be needed. Designated reservers can be used to save for large scale
projects and further charitable purposes. All reserve values are outlined in our policy outlining our clear expectations
and plans for the financial year ahead.
