Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity during the year						Compared with the previous few years this review period was afantastic year for the pre-school. During the previous review period the most significant event was that in January 2022the pre-school received an Ofsted inspection grading us as a highly disappointing "Requires Improvement". With such a grading we knew that
						Ofsted would return within a twelve-month window to make another assessment
						in this review period. InJune 2022 we replaced our manager. Our new manager
						immediately applied for and was successful in obtaining a place on a new
						national Early Years Covid Recovery programme to be rolled out during this 2022-
						23 review period. July 2022 saw many of our children leave ustotake places in
						school nursery in the corning September. Atthe time the new manager took
						over, new applications for places for September 2022were not great and having
						a "Requires Improvement" Ofsted rating was probably the main reason forthis.
						From June 2022 onward we created promotional material, updated our website
						and social media presence, and the number ofparents asking for places steadily
						rose.
						We began this review period by re-opening in September 2022 with a lot ofnew
						children on role. The national Early Years Covid Recovery programme began. This
						saw the head ofa successful group of nurseries in the North-East mentor our
						manager through various internet-based meetings. She also paid us a number of
						visits tooffer suggestions on areas to make improvements and changes.
						Ofsted returned to inspect us in October 2022 and we were awarded a "Good"
						grading. This was just ten school weeks after the new manager took over, how
						she and the staff team turned the pre-school around was phenomenal. Itwas
						very emotional for all involved with the pre-school. Since being graded "Good",
						applications for places were phenomenal. We would increase our opening times
						and employ more stafftocater for demand.

		In November 2022 we received visits from both the head ofEarly Years and head
		ofSafeguarding at NYCCtooffer support and suggestions to help us further move
		forward. Being able totap into their knowledge and experience was highly
		beneficial to leadership and staffing part ofthe pre-school team.
		Both our manager and deputy manager completed Special Educational Needs Co-
		ordinator training (SENDCO). This gives children who attend a much-improved
		assessment process, and learning and development plans should they require it.
		Itensures that we meet the needs ofeach and every child as an individual, also
		that their own specific learning and developmental requirements are atthe
		forefront ofwhat we do.
		All staff have undertaken various training courses as part ofa national scheme on
		inclusivity in supporting children with SEND called "Dingley's Promise" co-
		ordinated by NYCC.
		Tosupport our commitment to child safety, we put all the remaining staff who
		did not have acurrent paediatric first aid certificate through training. This
		ensured that all adults who come into contact with children in our care all have
		relevant first aid training. This isa level far above and exceeding the
		requirements governed bythe statutory regulations.
		Toward the end ofthe previous review period we made two grant applications
		for items that would improve areas oflearning and activities that we offer. Both
		applications were accepted.
		The first was a "Get Going" grant application to North Yorkshire County Council in
		May 2022to purchase balance bikes and playground items alongside safety
		equipment. We were awarded nearly E1,000forthe equipment. This allows us to
		give all children asafe place to learn to control such items, doing so safely and
		with supervision. We have been able to use a small playground within the wider
		school site to give the children a larger area to use these items.
		The second grant application was to what was then Ryedale District Council to
		purchase equipment for our children to use in both the school's "forest school
		area and within our own setting. The items purchased were intended to give
		children an increased knowledge ofnature and the world around them. We were
		also awarded E1,200ofaE1,500grant, payable in two 6600payments. We spent
		part ofthe first f600and began using the items. In September 2022the school
		closed the forest school area to all pupils and it remained closed throughout the
		2022-2023 review period. Ryedale District Council ceased to exist from April 2023
		and it became part ofthe new North Yorkshire Council. During this transition a
		number ofcharities that had been awarded the type ofgrant we had by Ryedale
		District Council found that the new North Yorkshire Council were planning notto
		honour the payments. Asthis was well publicised focally we opted to delay
		spending any further money ofthis grant. As it would pan out the grant would be
		honoured but ittook until 2024for usto be informed ofthat.
		During this review period we continued to make local visits with the children. We
		enjoyed visits tothe local heritage steam railway, to various shops where they
		selected fruit and veg fortheir snacks, and also toa nearby enclosed public play
		park. We also had avery successful Halloween visit toa local farm shop where
		children were able to pick their own pumpkins, undertake craft activities and
		make general use ofthe other facilities.
