|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.|
