Review of Progress and Achievement 2020/2021
Newton Nursery is a Sun Safe nursery.
Newton Nursery has a waiting list for children wanting to start at the nursery. Newton Nursery continues to be members of Ashfield Play Forum and for an annual fee they can obtain free resources, they have also donated items to Ashfield Play Forum which they no longer need. One of our staff members volunteers for the Ashfield Play Forum.
We advise and share good practice with other Early Years settings. We support other charities by sharing donations of items we do not need. We support local businesses by hiring their services, (accountant, sign maker, Lion Learners, carpets).
We signpost parents to other organisations and professionals as and when needed.
We work with other professionals as and when needed. All staff are in contact with their key children’s parents/carers each day the staff member works, sharing information, offering advice and activities for the children to do at home.
Finances
Newton Nursery have increased their fees to £17 per 3-hour session, this is just under the average being charged by similar settings in the area. We needed to do this due to the increase in the Minimum Wage, the proposed increase in the lettings fee for the room we use in the school and the increased costs of insurance, as well as the increased day to day running costs. Although all staff have taken a cut in hours, we continue to follow government guidelines on ratios.
Our insurance costs have increased due to the insurance company’s annual increase.
The attached financial statement shows the current state of the finances. Due to a reduction in events, remaining tombola prizes have been donated to The British Heart Foundation.
The Charity’s funds are held at The Co-operative Bank, P.O. Box 250. Delf House, Southway, Skelmersdale WN8 6WT.
