TRUSTEE’S ANNUAL REPORT
Little Oaks Pre School 1st September 2019 to 31st August 2020
Little Oaks Pre School (Registered Charity No 1066952) is a body in membership of the Early Years Alliance, whose aim is to enhance the development and education of children under statutory school age. This is achieved by offering a community based appropriate play facility through which we instigate and adhere to the aims of the Early Years Alliance.
Little Oaks achieved an ‘Outstanding’ rating from Ofsted in January 2019 and continues to provide a rich and varied range of activities for the children in our care. Working within the Early Years statutory framework. We encourage parents to fulfil the needs of their children and work closely with them to ensure our children develop the best way they can.
The academic year started well and the numbers attending our setting were higher than the previous year’s low birth rate year. The global pandemic caused massive disruption to much of the rest of the year. Little Oaks closed its doors in March 2020 after finding minimal need for keyworker care. Staff continued to keep in touch with families throughout this period. Thankfully we were able to reopen with reduced numbers and social distancing in June 2020.
We are continually monitoring our costs and expenditure; we were able to maintain staff pay during lockdown using, in part, the government furlough scheme together with other government funding. Fundraising events were obviously affected but we continue to have a dedicated volunteer fundraising committee.
This academic year starts with a new Chairperson for the Voluntary Management Committee with a dedicated team to support the staff at Little Oaks.
