## Trustees’ Annual Report 2021/2022 For Clifton Village Nursery (Charity No 1059397)
## **The charity’s usual activities:**
Clifton Village Nursery provides full day care for children aged between 2 to 5 years old. The
hours of operation are 9am to 3pm, Monday to Friday during term time only.
## **Public benefit statement**
In setting our objectives and planning our activities the trustees of Clifton Village Nursery have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and to the enhancement of the development and education of children under statutory school age. The local children of Clifton and the surrounding areas benefit from the provision of high quality and affordable day care by a committed and highly qualified staff.
## **Achievements and progress during Academic Year 2021-2022**
## **In the year ending 31/7/2022 the main highlights of the activities of the Clifton Village Nursery have been:**
Our Nursery manager continues to progress the Nursery with great management of the staff and providing good training for them. The setting is fantastic and with constant changes in provision, the children who attend are always happy and excited to be there. She has great insight into what is new in the EYFS and implements these well. The staff are committed and working well together. This was clear in our recent Ofsted report which was OUTSTANDING. We are very fortunate to have such a great team at the Nursery.
During the year we have built scarecrows for the local village festival, hammered pins into pumpkins, had visits from the oral health team, completed traffic surveys, collected Autumn things, celebrated Diwali, Bonfire Night and Chinese New Year, enjoyed the snow, had naughty elves visiting us for Christmas, experimented with paints, had jewel hunts, celebrated 15 years of service for a very special member of staff, planted bulbs, made kites, ate pancakes, had snacks with the Queen, dressed up for World Book Day, had play and stay sessions with our parents/carers, visited the local phone box library, enjoyed Red Nose Day, had story time, had a visit from some little chicks, watched our caterpillars grow, washed a car, had football coaches and the police visit us, celebrated the Queen’s Jubilee, had an ice cream van visit and watched our school leavers graduate.
We had a very successful Jubilee themed Bake Sale for our fundraising, along with Mother’s Day gifts, Father’s Day gifts, Christmas Photos and Christmas raffles.
To improve our safeguarding, we reflected on our procedures in this area by undertaking the Calderdale Safeguarding audit and many improvements have been made. We are constantly reviewing our safeguarding and updated our practice.
As a Nursery we make sure that we offer the best to our parents, therefore we are offering the thirty hours funding for working parents.
As a Nursery we feel that we have a fantastic parent partnership, we have improved our use of Tapestry to keep parents involved in their children’s learning. The Nursery Facebook page is still working well and the staff are using it more for parents to see what their child is enjoying and learning within the setting. It is very engaging for parents to have this. We also provide a termly newsletter and we also share out termly planning specific to each child based on their interests.
For transition to school in 2022 we provided the children with a graduation ceremony and some opportunities to visit their new schools.
We continue to provide quality and affordable full day care to a maximum of 46 children from Clifton and surrounding areas.
## **Reserves policy**
There is a Reserves Policy for Clifton Village Nursery. This defines the size of the reserve, how it will be held and the period over which the reserve amount will be built up.
