ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year||||Belbroughton
Nursery
had a strong year in 2020/21 with good numbers
ofchildren
throughout.
Whilst there were slightly fewer places filled in
September 2020 compared
to the previous
year, due to a higher number
of children
leaving to go into reception, there was still a reasonable| |||||number
- 14 children
filled 92 settings
per week, compared
to 15children| |||||filling 101settings at September 2019.(NB:a setting is defined as a| |||||morning
or afternoon
setting, so a child attending
nursery
full time| |||||attends 10settings per week).| |||||The number
of children
increased
through
the autumn
and spring terms,| |||||as is usually the case —parents
tend to place their child with the nursery| |||||after the child turns three due to government
funding
rules.
In July 2021,| |||||22 children
filled 148settings.| |||||The coronavirus
pandemic
continued
to impact the Nursery
in 2020/21.| |||||During the national
lockdown
from January to March 2021 the nursery| |||||remained
open on a restricted
basis and adhered
to national
guidelines.| |||||Staff absences
and illnesses were thankfully
limited.| |||||The nursery
continues
to benefit from an experienced
and enthusiastic| |||||team of staff. Everyone
pulled together as a nursery
community
to make| |||||the best ofthe situation. We have a great team with lots of enthusiasm| |||||and some wonderful
ideas and initiatives
that will ensure that| |||||Belbroughton
Nursery goes from strength
to strength
and continues
for| |||||many years to come.| |||||In 2020/21 a surplus

committee
have determined
that a minimum
of625k| |||||should be held as reserves. This ensures that the nursery
has sufficient| |||||funds and financial
resilience to weather
a future downturn
in birth rate| |||||and child numbers.| |||||There is a Deposit bank account
held separately
to the main current bank| |||||account to hold these reserves separately.
The cash held at 31 August| |||||2021, in both the deposit and current accounts,
totalled f49,249.| |||||After two years offinancial
surpluses,
the committee
agreed to invest| |||||some ofthe reserves
in the future ofthe Nursery
with a rebrand
to| |||||Belbroughton

and signage outside. This| |||||expenditure
