## Trustees’ Annual Report 2024/2025 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 2024-2025** 

## **In the year ending 31/7/2025 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. Progression with learning and education continue daily. The children in the setting love to be there. One of our committee members became our paid administrator, which is working well, but had to be removed from the committee. WE currently have four committee members and are seeking more. 

During the year the children have enjoyed visits from the police, fire service and an ice cream van, 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, planted bulbs, made kites, ate pancakes, 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 ducks, watched our caterpillars grow in beautiful butterflies which we let go, had football coach and watched our school leavers graduate. 

We have done some fundraising this year through Mother’s Day gifts, Father’s Day gifts, sports day activities, graduation photos and Christmas photos. 

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. We also joined the school where we rent our building from to learn from their safeguarding practice and enjoyed strengthening 



our relationship with the staff there, as most of our children attend this school when it is time to do so. 

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 2025 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.
