relocate, as the previous landlord (school)
did not renew the lease. Since then, the
setting has developed significantly and as
such has been able to offer a much bigger
and more well-equipped provision to the
wider community and also for a wider age
range of children from 12 months upwards.
The setting has a well-established
Outstanding reputation (operating 31
years) and as such has been able to not
only sustain itself but also continue to
develop and provide even more
opportunities for more families. Staff have
continued to develop in terms of
qualifications and knowledge and
experience and this has been instrumental
in the success of the setting. We continue
to have a waiting list, which in turn offers
sustainability for the setting. We raise
money by running annual events such as
sponsored walks, Summer fetes, gift
making for Christmas presents and so
