From September 2013 Phase Five Pre-school opened a new site (Acorns) based at St Nicholas church for 2-3year olds, the sites are within 0.3 miles of each other. The children are place depending on their age and transfer to Kelston Close Ioak Trees) setting the September following their third birthday. We are registered with Otsted and work within the Early Year5 Foundation Stage framework which ensures equality of opportunity for all children and famllies and are subjected to the Ofsted inspertion process. Both settings have a rating of 'Good' with OFSTED. What we offer We aim to offer and provide quality childcare for children aged between 2 years to 4 years in a safe, secure and stimulating environment which is warm and friendly. Our Pre School mission statement Provide a safe, secure stimulating environment. Have strong links with local community. Always respect each other. Support, encourage and praise each other alike. Encourage the Emotional, Social, Physical and Langua8e development of all children. Form smooth transitions through life's journey. Inclusive partnerships with parents and other professionals. Varied, natural resources, Learning through play. Every child matters, equally valued and encouraged. Review of activities and achievements Durin8 the year 19120 we offered 68 children Early Years Education over a variety of sessions chosen by their parents during Monday to Friday from 9.00am until 3.30pm. Most of these sessions were funded by the children in receipt of the Nursery Education Grant of 15 and 30-hours Early Years Education per week. Our waiting list was impacted due to the Pandemic as parent/carers delayed their start dates. We employed a new Administrator in November to assist within the office and support the manager. We had a winter trip to Old Down Country Park but had to cancel our summer trip due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Our fundraising group raised £210.90 at our Christmas open session selling cakes. teddy tombola, Christmas crafts, sweets in a jar and in February we raised £67.65. Unfortunately, due to the Coronavirus pandemlc our open sessions and events for the rest of the academic year were cancelled and all committee meetin8s were held online. We only opened one setting for keyworker and vulnerable children and closed the church settin8 to save rent costs. We furloughed staff on a rota basis and increased our cleaning schedule to ensure compliance with the government guidelines. All staff were flexible and worked together to ensure the smooth running of the Pre School to ensure we were able to continue financially. We were able to invite non keyworker children back in June and July for limited sessions and the children were able to graduate in July with social distancing outdoors which was welcomed by all as an end to the school year. The building committee requested quotes for a new building to Incorporate both settings on one site from local architects but due to the pandemic no funding organisations were available to support during this time so put on hold. Finances We started the academic year as normal, but March 2020 was impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic and we closed for all children except vulnerable children and keyworkers children. The committee made the decision to close the church setting to save money due to unknown future and the extremely low numbers of chlldren and looked at out expenditure to cut costs. We accessed the Furlough scheme to retain staff on a rota basis and was able to claim the Nursery Education Grant for existing children. We also received a grant of £7,500 from the local authority. We lost the fee5 for the paying parents and snack contributions but was massively support by the local council and government. The outcome for the year was a surplus which I'm sure will help us financially during the next academic year due to the pandemic still bein8 part of our lives.
