## Comment 

It is evident to all trustees that staff at Heyhouses Nursery ensure that these aims and objectives are met. Nursery  is  a  stimulating  and  happy  environment where  children  develop  as  individuals  and  as  a

socially  interactive group.  Extremely favourable comments in parental surveys confirmed their satisfaction with the standard of education and care provided. 

## Mission Statement 

We seek to enable children to reach their full potential educationally, spiritually and socially so that they may become all that God has created them to be. 

## Public benefit 

The trustees consider that the main activities undertaken by the charity to carry out its charitable purposes are for the public benefit and furthermore they consider that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the commission's public benefit guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant. 

## Volunteers, students and visitors 

Nursery staff and trustees are grateful for the regular and  valuable  contribution  of  volunteers,  special support  workers  and students  both  from  the  local college and high schools for their valuable input of activities. 

Nursery has 3 volunteers who support the various needs of nursery with additional support with events, holiday provision, fundraising. Other visitors included: 

- St Annes Library 

- St Annes Fire Services 

- Father Glen and Father Ryan 

Nursery welcomed 3 students from the local High School (Year 10) as part of the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme. They volunteered in the Afterschool Club each week. 

## ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable Activities 

## Finance 

The payment of fees continues to create the majority of the charities income. Parents are entitled to 15 hours per week for 38 weeks of funded care from the LEA the term after the child's third birthday which is now called the Early Education Funding (EEF). This is also now available for two year olds who meet the criteria. 

Extended funding  up to 30 hours  of provision, is securely embedded into the system. This has continued to impact on the finances of nursery so the number of families accessing the additional (Enhanced) 15 hours was maintained at 20 families, with a minimum of 24 hours per week, so places would  be  available  for  all  families.  Parents  were happy to adhere to this ruling and several agreed to

Early Years Pupil Premium continues to be paid to EEF children aged 3-4 who meet the criteria. This year children accessed the additional funding which was used to support ball skill sessions provided by CTFF Football Federation as well as supporting these children with additional  sessions and covering the costs  of  hot  meals.  It  was  also  used  to  enhance resources and purchase additional support to enable all children to access the curriculum. 

There was an increase in the amount of additional finance  this  year.  Successful  Chrisünas  &  Summer Fairs were organised this year along with a photographic session in May. All events were well supported as we emerged from the pandemic. 

Trustees will consider family circumstances and use their discretion to waive or reduce fees for children who have special/specific needs or whose pre-school years will by significantly enhanced by attendance at Heyhouses  Nursery.  The  guiding  principle  when considering such cases is that no child who needs our support  should  be  prevented  from  attending  our nursery by a financial barrier. 

## Accommodation 

Heyhouses C of E Nursery is located in a new purpose built brick building which is located on land owned by The Lytham Schools Trust on Clarendon Road North, Lytham St Annes. This is the eleventh year in the new building. 

Over the past year the Senior Management team have identified significant maintenance and repairs needed for the building's overall long-term maintenance. The Senior Management Team are currently in the process of  applying  for  Grant  Funding  to  support  the extensive  financial  costings  of  the  repairs  and maintenance, including: 

- A completely new heating system 

- A substantial repair to the nursery flat roof 

- Improvements to our extensive outdoor area and 

- Painting and decorating of the 

## Staffing 

Through  this  financial  year, Nursery  has  maintained  the posts as follows: Nursery Manager/Teacher

## HEYHOUSES CHURCH OF ENGLAND NURSERY 

2 x Deputy Managers 1 x SEN Co-ordinator 

9 x Nursery Practitioners 1 x Finance Manger 1 x Business Support Offcer 

Trustees wish to record their thanks to all staff for their continued hard work and commiünent to the nursery. 

The Performance Management was further embedded this year as Mrs Helen Atkinson and Mr Clive Barnes alongside  regular  supervision  with  Joanne  Kaced, Nursery Manager & Teacher. 

Lead  Practitioner  Status  was  again awarded  to  the nursery.  The  nursery  continues  to  be  used  as  an example of good practice to other nurseries throughout Lancashire, although there is no additional funding for the status. 

## Breakfast Club & After Nursery School Club 

These clubs continue to operate very well under the leadership ofDeputy Manager . The Senior Management  Team  applied  for  Wraparound  Care grant funding in July 2024, a successful application provided the means to increase the number of places by 5 and to support the employment of an additional staff member within the Afterschool club thus helping the team provide the much needed additional one to one support for the increase of children with Special Educational Needs including children from Nursery, Reception and Year 1.

By means of Grant funding nursery has been able to deliver several individual holiday provision programmes over the last year including 2 days during

## NURSERY 

the October half term week. 4 days during the Easter 2-week holiday. 

During the summer holidays we were fortunate to be able to provide a 2-weeks holiday provision with the support of grant funding from Lytham School Foundation  Trust.  The  holiday  provision  provided support  for up to 25 children each day. The grant funding also included funding to provide a minibus service  to  ensure  our  most  vulnerable  and  needy children attended the provision. 

With the ever-increasing challenge of childcare needs for parent/carers due to more and more families having both parent/carers working. For the first time within the grant application, we made a request to the Lytham School Foundation Trust to seek approval to open the holiday provision to the wider  nursery community, Breakfast  Club  and  Afterschool  Club  parent/carers. This also paved the way to work towards a holiday provision being available to all the Nursery, Breakfast and Afterschool Club children providing the financial means for nursery to then be able to provide 'invite only'  places  for  our  more  vulnerable  and  needy children who may not be able to access the provision without this support. 

## Grants 

Nursery received grant funding for the October, Easter & Summer holiday provision for vulnerable children from the Lytham Schools Foundation Trust. 

## Quality Award 

The Nursery has been awarded the LQA in Language and Communication. This certification was received in Spring 2024, as anticipated in the Trustees Report 2223. 

## Additional Fundraising 

We have raised additional funds for Nursery through regular fundraising events  at Christmas, Easter and during  the  summer  term,  including  Christmas  and Summer Fairs. 

All  monies  raised  are  used  to  purchase  various resources for nursery and the children. 

## Ofsted 

The SMT have attended Ofsted update training for changes that are being implemented to the inspection process. There is now a 6 year cycle of inspection for settings  that  have  been  recognised  as  Good  or Outstanding. 

Page 11 



## HEYHOUSES CHURCH OF ENGLAND NURSERY 

## Communication 

At Heyhouses Nursery we recognise the privileged position we have when parents entrust the care of their young children to us. Our work is very much in partnership with those parents and carers and good communication is vital. We communicate regularly with parent/carers via the communication tool Evidence  Me  and  have  regular  emails/letters  with information regarding activities and events which are taking place. 

The Senior Management Team recognise as parent/carers  childcare  requirements  have  changed over time, children are continuously registered with nursery throughout  the year  unlike previous  years whereby significant times, such as  September and January were times when admissions were high, this has now moved to a constant flow of children being registered and parents/carers requiring start dates as and when necessary. Thus, leading to an all-yearround  ability  to  register  and  begin  their  nursery journey  with  Heyhouses.  Throughout  the  year  we provide opportunities to carry out our robust induction and settling in process. During the summer term  we now provide  4 weekly play sessions  for parent/carers and children to attend nursery to begin their settling in, 'getting to know' their key person and other team members as well as familiarising themselves with the nursery surroundings. This over the last year has proven to be highly successful in aiding  a  positive  and  secure  tansition  into  our Nursery.

Open  Evenings  and  Parent  Workshops  are  held throughout the year for families of children currently attending nursery and for those who are looking for nursery provision in the future. 

At the end of the Summer Term, a Transition Report is prepared on the progress of all children. 

Feedback is encouraged from parents and carers on a regular  basis  particularly  after  Open  Evenings  and Parent Workshops. 

Informal meetings are held throughout the year when parents have the opportunity to discuss progress etc with their child's Key Person. 

During the Spring and Summer Terms staff from the Reception Department visit Nursery to take part in Storytime[t] and small groups of nursery children are taken to the Heyhouses  Primary School Reception Department to meet the teachers and become familiar with the school ahead of the fransition in September. For any children who may be accepted for a different school the team will endeavour to provide opportunities for the schoolteachers to visit nursery.

This is valuable work as it supports the transition of children from nursery to school and is welcomed by staff and parents. 

## FNANCIAL REVIEW Financial position 

The net expenditure as disclosed in the Statement of Financial Activities is El 3,381 deficit, (2023:E39,942 deficit), and reserves are E318,172 (2023:£331,553). 

## Investment policy and objectives 

Under the Memorandum and Articles ofAssociation, the charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit. The trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds  and  have  found  that  business  high  interest accounts  meet  the  requirements  to  generate  both income and allow the funds to be readily available. 

## Reserves policy 

The ffustees have examined the charity's requirements for  reserves  in the  light  of the main risks  to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted  funds  not  committed  or  invested  in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be between three and six months of the expenditure. 

The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements  of  the  charity  and  the  trustees  are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the current activities ofthe charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. The present level of reserves available to the charity at 31 August 2024 are E318,172. 

The trustees are aware of the fact that with tied in tangible fixed assets, the desired level  of reserves have not been achieved. They continue to seek ways to improve the situation while managing current and future  risks  by  not  committing  to  any  long  term projects unless specific funding is secured. 

## FNANCIAL REVIEW Going concern 

The Trustees have considered the financial circumstances  of  the  charity  at  the  year  end  and determined that the going concern basis is appropriate. 

## FUTURE PLANS 

## Plans for Future Periods
