Ob"ectives and Activities Charity Aims The charity aims to provide to the local community a fully inclusive setting that delivers pre- school education following the early years foundation stage, by creating a happy. safe. and relaxed environment. Caring for children aged 2 years to 4 years of any culture or ability to learn thiough play Children arc encouraged by example and learn to care for and respect not only themselves but also others and their enviroDmenL In order to do this, we employ a childcare manager who along with a deputy and play assistants undertakes daily planning of activities to meet the needs and interests of the children attending our setting. We deploy a key person approach to ensure that the progress and well bel￿0 of all individual children is constantly monitored and feeds into future planning. We ensure that OUT Staff are well trained and hence able to successfully meet the needs of the children in our care. We promote the importance of the learning environment and endeavour to make this as stimulating as possible. We listen to the view3 of children, parellts and staff and use this feedback to inforni our improvement work. The working partnership with parents is recognised as being a major value and of importance to the development and education of children. We develop positive relationships with parents and carers and invite them into our setting. We value all children as individuals and celebrate Britain's diversity of culture. We help the children in our care to be happy and healthy. We have policies and procedures in place for all aspects of safeguarding, child pmtection and health and safety, and along with staff review these policies as and when necessary. We follow the recommendations offered by external agencies and work with parents to achieve these outcomes. Ofsted carried out ali inspection of the setting on 4 June 2019 and rated the setting as GOOD.

As an early y&qrs provider we reniained open through the final lockdowns and supported families and staff as best as possible, ensuring that all communication and legislation was adhere to and passed on to our families. Our usual fundraising events were impacted by covid as no large group events, so new ideas to continue to fundraise keeping everyone safe was deployed. The popular children's Sponsor Christmas scavenger hunt around the village with their family was very popular and we loved receiving the electronic images and their drawings of their family festive walk. This made it inclusive so that all could take part, even if they felt that they were unable to donate. The chair has supported the manager throughout the year Which has enabled the charity to continue to establish a stable and proactive setting and support staff wherever possible to provide the best childcare as per our aims.
