Section	D			Achievements and performance
Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity during the year				he daily running ofthe pre-school has settled down post pandemic and has returned to running normal sessions. Some ofthe measures adopted during the pandemic surrounding dropping offand collection have remained as these have benefitted the children.
				Forest Fridays continue to be a big success with the children and has seen
				increased attendance on this day. Otherwise, numbers have been
				extremely healthy and an increase in the size ofthe team is required to provide availability for more children to attend with a mix of2-4 year olds.
				StaNng levels remain low and there isa need for new staff including a
				deputy manager. In the meantime, options such as bank staff and agency
				taff are being considered.
				e preschool continues to run from the village hall. Rent is paid via a longstanding agreement between the hall and pre-school. However, the
				aim is for the pre-school to move to a permanent owned premises and this
				option will be pursued over the next year.
