We have a healthy waiting list for September 2024 and the school year 2024-2025. All compulsory training has been completed including First Aid. This year has seen an increase in the need for specialist training of staff to meet the individual needs of our SEN children, this includes ICAN training for speech and language. We have also purchased specialised equipment. We have seen an increase in the cost of living and the minimum wage, once again forcing us to increase our session fee's. Our fundraising events this year have been a Christmas raffle, Easter Egg Hunt, Clothes collect and a stall at the Summer Fete. All of which were well attended by parents, children and the local community. All monies raised help towards the upkeep of our garden. ## **Declaration** The trustees declare that they have approved the report above.
