Kirkby-on-Bain Nursery is a small charity running a day nursery for children aged 2-5. We offer funded sessions for children ages 3 and above who are eligible for up to 15 hours of free nursery provision through the Early Years Educational Entitlement (EYEE), and we also offer sessions over and above the EYEE and to children aged 2-3. We also offer funded sessions to 2 year olds who qualify through Birth to Five’s 2 year old scheme.
Kirkby-on-Bain Nursery is registered for up to 24 children each session and is based in a leased church hall in Kirkby-on-Bain village.
The Nursery originally opened as a playgroup in February 1990 when the infant department of the local school moved into a new classroom extension. As the infant class had occupied the Village Hall, it was ideally suited to our purpose. In June 1992, we were re-registered under the Children’s Act as a day nursery. Our continual commitment is to provide the best possible care and education for the pre-school children from our community.
Aims:
-
To help the children develop intellectually, emotionally, physically, socially and morally all of which are equally important and closely interwoven.
-
To encourage the children to become confident both within themselves and their abilities and to increase their independence.
-
To provide a safe, relaxed and happy environment where the children will discover learning is fun.
In order to achieve these aims it is important to forge a partnership with parents in order to ensure full development of the children is reached.

Our objective is to guide and aid the development of each individual child to proceed along the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

Management
The management of the Nursery is vested in a committee comprised of parents and staff. The Committee is elected annually at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). The Committee is responsible for ensuring that the aims of the Nursery are met, but the dayto-day running of the Nursery is delegated to the staff. The Committee is responsible for appointing staff and setting rates for fees and wages.
The Nursery Manager is called Claudette Harkus and she is a very experienced Level 3 and NNEB qualified early years practitioner.

This Year
The Nursery has been affected by COVID in the whole of this period. This has meant that we haven’t been able to do as many fundraising activities as normal, and also that our annual summer trip couldn’t go ahead. We continued to provide as many opportunities for the children in our care as possible in the lockdown circumstances. We have had a special visit from Santa to our Christmas party, we have dressed up in fancy dress to raise money for Children-in-Need and we have put on a Christmas nativity play with both children and staff involved and the parents coming to watch.
We have carried out numerous activities throughout the year in the Nursery including baking, making, painting, singing, writing and lots more.
All these activities combined support our philosophy and help us to achieve our aims.
Financial
Kirkby-on-Bain Nursery’s assets consist solely of toys and equipment used for the children and some small office essentials. The church hall where we are based is leased. The Nursery currently has no liabilities.
This year Kirkby-on-Bain Nursery accounts show that we have made a profit of over £8086 during the year. This was despite the effects of COVID which meant we had reduced opening hours for part of this period. We have tried to work with parents as much as possible to ensure continuity of care and provision during this time, and we have put in extra hours and procedures to ensure our nursery is as safe an environment as possible. This year we have also seen an increase in child numbers due to positive word of mouth feedback and effective marketing. We are hopeful that we are carrying forward a healthy balance into the new financial year, and we also have a healthy number of children going into the new financial year.
