Chairperson's letter
Dear Committee, Team and Parents/Carers,
The Woolpit ARC is still offering the best all round childcare with the aim to offer a clean, healthy, safe, and supportive learning environment; where the children feel valued and can contribute to the wider community.
Recap of the Year
This year has been challenging due to a number of staff changes, however we have some new members of staff who are settling into their roles.
Breakfast club is still a popular option, however we had to cancel after school club due to reduced numbers, this is likely because Woolpit Academy now offers wrap around care in the afternoon and many school age children are using this service.
Financially, there have been several challenges, but this emphasises the need for a dedicated fundraising committee to ensure that we are raising money as a charitable organisation. At time of writing, a Halloween Disco is planned for the end of the month, early ticket sales suggest this could be a successful event.
We were inspected by OFSTED in January and received valuable feedback which the staff have been working on since. OFSTED intend to revisit before the end of January 2026 and the staff are confident that the visit will result in a positive outcome.
Next Year
The focus next year is making sure the setting is a safe environment for our children and staff and that we are adapting to changing circumstances. There may be an option to recruit staff and continue to review after school club reopening.
We are currently reviewing the financial situation more regularly and thoroughly and have forecasts to help budgeting. The Committee and Management teams are updated monthly on the progress of our finances and numbers during the different sessions. Marketing is a big part of our strategy as we continue to place digital adverts that will give the ARC visibility to prospective families. Fundraising is still part of what we do, and we will continue to add more for next year.
Thank you
| would like to say thank you for the support of our community and families; the fundraising committee for their enthusiasm and time; to my committee colleagues that offer their time to keep the Arc future; and our team that work hard everyday with the children in a loving and caring environment.

Consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them
Holding regular meetings enables the early identificationof any major risk, be they financial, staffing, Ofsted related, Health and Safety, etc. Any additional support required is discussed - for example, if a significant fundraising event is required or if additional staffing resources are needed.
No major risks have been identified for this period.
The setting is now required (since Sept 2012) to carry out all checks on any new manager appointed (as we currently do for all other staff). Ofsted will checkat the next inspection that we have suitable thorough process in place forchecking suitability.
Health & Safety risk assessments of all obvious and significant hazards are regularly reviewed, especially if circumstances or equipment change or if there is a reason to suspect a problem. The review is recorded, and appropriate control measures put in place to reduce the risk. Staff are involved in discussions. Health & Safety is also discussed at each staff meeting.

Objectives
The Arc's main objectives as set out in its Governing Document are to:
Enhance and provide for the development and education of children from PreSchool age to eleven years of age; encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through community groups; including making facilities and services available to children in and out of school hours and during school holidays by:
Offering appropriate play, education and care facilities and training courses, together with the right of parents to take responsibility for and to become involved in the activities of such groups ensuring that such groups offer opportunities for all children whatever their race, culture, religion, means or ability.
Encourage the study of the needs of such children and their families and promoting public interest in and recognition of such needs.
Summary of the principal activities in relation to these objectives:
The service recruits school age children from Woolpit Primary Academy and surrounding villages and meets the needs of the families in these villages. We attract Pre-Schoolers mainly from the same catchment area, though both Pre-School sessions and the Holiday Club are available to any parent or carer wishing to access it.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) applies throughout the setting and covers statutory welfare requirements and educational support following the EYFS curriculum. More information is available to Parents/Carers on request.

----- End of picture text -----
Breakfast Club
This club provides a welcoming and relaxed environment where children enjoy a healthy breakfast consisting of but not limited to cereals, toast, ti lk, fruit juice. We provide a selection of activities such as arts & crafts, board games, card games, music and tabletop games.
The enclosed outside area is also available to the Breakfast Club children,
Pre-School
Here we continue to provide a welcoming and stimulating environment, providing a variety of activities and opportunities for the children. These include sensory sand and water play, construction toys, arts and crafts, writing area, home corner/roleplay area, as well as opportunities for outside play including gardening.
We provide a wide and varied curriculum based on Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), offering activities and opportunities to encourage confident and independent learning. The staff use information gained through observation and assessment to inform their planning to ensure that individual children's needs are met. Individual progress records are regularly maintained and shared with parents using an online system called Tapestry. We ensure that children are involved in the planning of activities & future purchases of equipment/resources by means such as discussions with the children, and questionnaires.
We use the key-person system to enable us to work closely with families and help us meet individual children's needs and further enhance the education and care we provide.
Lunch Club
Parents have the option of buying a hot, healthy lunch from the school kitchen, or sending ina packed lunch for their child. A variety of activities are available, such as arts and crafts, sand and water, role-play and a quiet area. The outside play area is also accessible.
8
Our Services - continued
After School Club (Closed temporarily pending re-opening March 2026)
We provide a variety of activities, including arts and crafts, science activities, cooking, and movies on our Smart TV. We also have a chill out zone, tabletop games, and more. We enjoy the outside play area too. The After School Club also provides children with healthy snacks.
Holiday Club
The activities offered are like those of the After School Club. In addition, we include special days where we provide planned activities such as dance, Lego Club, craft activities such as pebble painting and cooking.
Holiday Club information is emailed to all local schools. We also produce a flyer for each of our Holiday Clubs which shows a detailed programme of activities for each day, to attract the children’s (and parents’) interest. The flyer is shared on social media sites, such as our own Facebook Page, and we also advertise in our local village magazine.
Holiday Club dates are made available up to a year in advance to assist parents in planning their holiday childcare.
9
We have good partnerships with parents/carers. We recognise that parents/carers are their children's primary educators and the importance of working with those closest to the children.
We achieve this by ensuring that parents/carers have the opportunity to discuss their children's progress with staff through regular meetings. Staff are also available at the start and end of each session.
Parents/carers have access to their children’s learning journeys which document the child's insights into their child's learning. This has also proven to be an excellent tool to improve communication. We actively support parents/carers to attend a session at the provision, if they wish, or to be involved in the organisation of the group by being a committee member or regular volunteer.
We have good links with the local school. Staff work closely with teachers in Reception Class throughout the year.
We invite members of the local community such as the Dental Nurse, Fire Brigade, Police etc.to talk to the children. We strive to seek new links within our local community.

Garden renovation - Initial work was carried out by Paul Symons in October 2024 who kindly removed the old sandpit, fixed the fence and made the area safe until the new sandpit arrived.
December 2024 We set to work renovating the garden during the Christmas break. The water pump was removed and laid more astroturf to provide a clearer, larger space for the children to enjoy and to help us rotate tuff trays and seasonal toys accordingly. A new sandpit was installed and has been thoroughly enjoyed by the children. The total cost of the renovation was £10,854.69 which was generously donated by Woolpit Parish Council.

Financial Review 2024/2025
Despite facing rising costs in energy, fuel, and groceries, Woolpit Arc, a non-profit childcare provider, had to make some difficult decisions last year regarding the hours we operate.
In September 2025 we made a difficult decision temporarily closed after school club, due to low take-up, became unviable financially to staff. We endeavor to review its re-opening in March 2026.
To mitigate the impact of rising costs, Woolpit Arc has implemented various strategies. The organisation has actively promoted Tax-Free Childcare and Childcare Voucher Schemes to enhance the affordability of its services. Additionally, Woolpit Arc extended its ability to provide ‘Stretched childcare’ allowing families to fully utilise its 15 & 30 funded hour codes.
Woolpit Arc has also taken steps to optimise staffing levels, closely monitoring the number of children attending each session. This approach ensures that staffing aligns with actual demand, preventing unnecessary expenditure. The organisation has also been proactive in seeking grants to secure additional resources without incurring additional costs.
Despite facing financial challenges, Woolpit Arc remains committed to provide high-quality childcare services to the community. The organisation's ability to navigate these challenges is a testament to its resilience & dedication to it's mission.
Holiday Club
Our Holiday Club remains a vital service for our community, operating five days a week from 8am to 4.15pm, providing families with a fantastic opportunity to keep their children engaged and entertained during school Holidays.
18
Staffing
We are thrilled to welcome new staff this year including Lilia, Amelia and Stacey.
Marketing and Promotion
We are committed to enhancing the visibility of our services within the community while simultaneously reducing advertising costs. We plan to achieve this by carefully reviewing and limiting the number of adverts we use, ensuring that our marketing efforts are effective and cost-efficient.
Fundraising
Our dedicated Fundraising Committee remains committed to organizing community events and initiatives to raise funds for the charity's ongoing operations and expansion.
Reserves Policy
Our Management Committee has established a prudent Reserves Policy, mandating that the charity's unrestricted funds be equivalent to three months of expenditure. This policy ensures that we have the necessary financial stability to meet the day-to-day revenue requirements of the charity and continue providing our services even in the face of unforeseen circumstances or funding fluctuations.
Audit and Independent Examination
Despite being a small company, we are not required to undergo a formal audit. However, we have commissioned an Independent Examination to provide additional assurance regarding the accuracy and completeness of our financial statements. For more information, please refer to page 22.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Woolpit Child Care Centre Limited
| report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31st August 2025, which are set out on pages 23 to 28.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act).
The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and that an indepenent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which give me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
-
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102)
| have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Grant funding was received from Suffolk County Council for the purpose of business planning, building design and construction and initial start up costs. It is of the directors opinion that the building will have an estimated useful life of approximately 30 years, therefore the deferred income will be credited to the SOFA in equal instalments over the remaining 12 years.
