We listen to the views of children, parents and staff and use this feedback to inform 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.

Our attendance numbers were lower than previous years and although there was a slight increase duriniT the year attendancc remained lower than ideal. The need to use surplus income from previous years was used to enable the charity to continue operating. Although expenditure was kept to a minimum the Tise in employment costs to li keep line with governrnent statutory .(idelineS was an expcnditure that could not be avoided. The financial position will continue to be monitored to evaluate the feasibility of the charity continuing. A very small committee was fornied at the AGM although due to personal circumstsnces and work con)mittnents communication has mainly been via enlIs, the chair has continued to support the manager in the overall opeTation of the setting. IKhich has enabled the setting to continue to be a proactive setting supporting children in our care and staff wherever possible to provide the best childcare as per our aims. Income has mainly been through the Government Nursery Educatlon funding scheme for 3- & Lkyear-olds. All funding and fee payments received under these schemes have been used to enhance the needs of the child, following the EYFS guidellnes. Changes to staffmg requirements have been address taking into account our safer recruitsnent and safeguarding policy and ensuring that the correct adult to child ratio is adhered to. The trustees have ensured that all legisjation has been adhered to During the year a few essential new resources were purchased including new furniture for the reading corner this was to replace the old fillniture that had become unrepairable. We remain grateful for donations of resources given to the charity. Our preschool children enjoyed the end of year paty with bouncy castle and leavers bears which has become a great tradition.
