## Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
We have maintained our close family friendly approach and the preschool continues to be a happy and safe one.
A visit was made on 27 February 2024 from Ofsted and were awarded GOOD in all areas.
All pre-school staff are DBS checked along with any committee members. All have safeguarding and PREVENT training in place. 2 senior members of staff are appointed for the management responsibilities. There is a total of 10 paid staff.
We make use of the Government NI incentive to assist in reducing costs especially since the introduction of higher employer NIC and the new NMW each April.
The Pre-School is still seeing a reduction in applications. This is in part to the reducing birth rate. The WPE funding from the government has seen an increase in under 3 applications and offer that can be made. We are still unable to make use of the WPE 30 hour offer as we do not have access to availability with the premises.
