We have had a very busy year . The staff continue to update their knowledge through
attending online courses .We had additional help throughout the year . We had movement of
staff during the year .
We had a lovely Christmas paty, our regular visits from the dentist team , policeman and a
chance to sit inside the police car. We had Jungle Juniors in with mini beasts for the children
to look at and touch . We had the photographer in too.
We continued teaching the children Makaton signs and adapted our practice to ensure the

We was able to purchase lots of new equipment in the garden as we was lucky to receive
£1500 from Tesco. We had the LGVA fete where we celebrated 50 years ( which is in
September 2024), decorating the stall and having a photo display over the years which was
nice.
We have worked with lots of children who needed SEN support to enable them to access our
curriculum .
We had a visit from Ofsted on 217124 and achieved a brilliant GOOD rating of which we are
proud .
We returned back in September , mornings were very busy with most days at full capacity.
The afternoons are quieter at the moment, however better than in previous years . The
Government childcare scheme have had an impact on this and we are still receiving calls to
start . There are eight staff in the setting and I bank staff.
Fundraising has been great this year , money was raised by commission from photo sales,
helping hands and raffles.
Fees have been increased to £6.80 per hour.
Our plans are to adapt our practice to the cohort at the time and will continue our hard work
to deliver excellent care ￿]d education to all our childreii in our car

Thank you for your continued support-this really does make a difference to the children
and the resources we can provide for them
This year we have faced some challenges. We have had national living wages
increases, which increased our staffing costs and were hall hire increases. The
government decreased their funding amounts, decreasing some of our income.
After the decrease in funding and some local market research, we increased our fees
for hours that are not 15 or 30 hours funded.
We also changed the bank accounts as there were increased fees for the account we
were with.
We've worked hard as a committee to better understand the income we get for the
setting from funding and fees and to better predict what our outgoings are eg-
staffing costs.
Trina Myatt to examine the accounts.,
