Annual Report 2023-24
The financial year began with the last term of a busy year. We were able to take our annual trip to West WiAering beach which was enjoyed by everyone.. We conEnued our new system of spending all our Eme from May half term to October half term solely in the woodland paying a small retainer to the Village Hall. From November we returned to our split seLng sharing our Eme between the hall and the woodland. Due to a period of tricky weather and parEcularly high winds we had to spend a couple of weeks at the hall during October as well.
During the second half of the summer term we enjoyed our ‘Leaver’s Programme’ taking our older cohort on a weekly adventure to a number of locaEons including Thursley Common to see the dragonflies, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and Queen Elizabeth Park.
The Autumn term began with our usual new intake of children, Yvonka Wilkinson had leY the nursery at the end of the Summer term. Sadly we also heard that a member of our team had been diagnosed with mouth cancer - Natasha conEnued to work with reduced hours during the autumn term.
In November the nursery held its annual bonfire night fundraiser with a good turnout of parents and friends to enjoy the event and raise funds. At Christmas the parents organised a brilliant raffle with each family contribuEng a prize.
In the Spring term we said goodbye to Stephanie Peat who had worked for the nursery for some Eme. We welcomed Sarah Wallond who came to cover some gaps in the staffing schedule.
The staff have conEnued to commit themselves to the growth and enhancement of the nursery. We work to conEnue to maintain our reputaEon, to review our processes and ensure we offer all children in our care the very best start in their development in all areas not simply academic. Our admission policy ensures all children are given equal access to the nursery as long as space allows thereby providing a charity of public benefit.
