The ACE Centre: Annual Report 2021


A Word from the Chairperson

Who could have foreseen what an impact the COVID-19 pandemic would have on us all? But despite all the problems and difficulties, staff have continued to work with commitment and energy to provide the very best care and education to our youngest children. This has ensured that our families and children have had the stability and security they so needed during these unprecedented times.

Financially COVID-19 has had a huge impact, with loss of income due to lockdowns, reduced numbers, closures due to identified cases, as well as staff needing to selfisolate. These problems are common across many sectors, but have been felt particularly keenly by early year’s settings such as ours. However, our financial position has been mitigated somewhat by sustainability grants from OCC amounting to £30,000, and a WODC small business grant of £10,000.

A new staffing structure in ACE Pre-School has been successfully introduced following the resignation of Rachel English (manager). The setting is now managed by Lin Englishby, bringing our two under 3’s teams closer together, under the same management. This has resulted in operational advantages as well as financial savings.

ACE Pre-School has run well during the year within its new structure. We have continued to provide many places for funded two year olds. The staff are very experienced in supporting and enabling our vulnerable children to reach their full potential. We thank them for the work they carry out in this setting.

The Day Nursery continues to provide a safe and secure environment for our youngest children. The staff had a particularly difficult time in January 2021 when they were required to come back to full working whilst COVID levels were extremely high in the community, and early years workers were not being offered priority for vaccinations. They coped with this stressful time with great fortitude, and continued to provide the excellent provision we, and they, are so rightly proud of. The staffing group remains stable, which enables the setting to be a secure place for children, with adults who are familiar and trusted.

The ACE Centre: Annual Report 2021


We were successful in applying for a grant of £2,900 from OCC to enhance our outdoor play areas. This was used to replace the tarmac path in the ACE Pre-School garden with a more child-friendly surface.

Since Trish Ward’s retirement the admin team of Leigh Roscoe-Styler and Alison Beacham have restructured their roles, and continue to provide excellent admin and financial management to the Charity. Rebecca MacRae who joined the team as receptionist to allow Leigh and Alison to take on more responsibility, has been working from home and now on maternity leave, so they have had an even bigger workload this year. The Trustees are extremely grateful to Alison and Leigh for their hard work and dedication.

On behalf of everyone at The ACE Centre we would like to say a special thank you to Don Davidson who stepped down as a Trustee in July, after many years’ service. We will miss his contribution to the Charity, and thank him for all he has done over the years.

On a final note, we would like to thank all the staff working within the Charity setting, including our admin team, for the work they do in sometimes the most difficult circumstances to provide an outstanding service for the under 5’s and their families.

ACE Childcare & ACE Pre-School

2020 - 2021 has been an unprecedented time at ACE Childcare and Pre-School due to the Covid-19 global pandemic.

Covid Timeline:

This has been a very testing time, mostly running on the unknown due to the lack of guidance from the Local Authority and Government. The staff have worked tirelessly to make as much as we can work for the children and their families. The Charity has benefitted from the furlough scheme and various sustainability grants.

The finances of the charity have been detrimentally affected following complete closure for one week after a positive Covid-19 case and again for an additional two days when a member of staff tested positive. The new self-isolation rules will hopefully prevent further closure.

ACE Childcare is at full capacity and has an unprecedented amount of families on the waiting list. All ACE Childcare staff attended Generalist Safeguarding training, delivered by Lexy Tuckwell and Helen Ruff via zoom. Leigh Roscoe-Styler continues to keep us all up to date with the training central record.

September 2020 saw the management of ACE PreSchool taken over by Lin Englishby and James Corfield, managers of the childcare setting. This has enabled a more cohesive team between the two settings. ACE PreSchool continues to provide outstanding care and pedagogy for the two year old’s who attend. Over 60% of the children that attended in 2020-2021 were in receipt of Two Year Funding.

The ACE Centre: Annual Report 2021


The ACE Childcare and ACE Pre-School team are extremely committed to the development of their practice and receive very high praise from the families who attend.

Throughout the pandemic, both settings have been sterilising and cleaning resources at the end of each day, this has resulted in resources looking very used and tired. The Trustees agreed that £200 could be spent on replacing some key resources to keep the environment inviting and exciting.

Sophie Keenan has left ACE Childcare to join Nursery school in a one-to-one support role. We have an afternoon post vacant which we are finding very difficult to fill due to lack of applicants. I believe that a lot of sectors nationally are struggling to recruit employees. We will continue to advertise the post on various different platforms. This year has been challenging in so many different ways and we are thankful to the teams for the commitment and unwavering dedication to the children and families who attend the setting.
