ACHIKVEmEI￿ S AIYD PERFORMANCE
Reviejv ot. Activities:
The children enjoyed various celebrations throughout the year, including a Christmas sing alon8 and a visit froin
Father Chrislmas. The also enjoyed trips to the Police Stsiion and to nearby Parkcr's Piece.
We had photO8raphers in Iwice during the year, one to tske more formal photos indoors in thc aulumn
and another to take natural photographs of tlie clu. Idren in the garden in the Spring.
Coach Salv came once a forthight throughout the year to do sports with the children and Coach Lucy came to
do dance.
The children also experienced caterpillars turn into cocoons and then butterflies.
Statf continiie to atteiid various training both face lo face and online over the year to enhaiice their personal
development. StatT also completed two in housc Lraining days.
In February the staff all went to the Theatre to see Marna Mia a great day out was Iiad by all,
b. Staffing
We are at full capacity in tenns of the number of children we Gan tske, with the limitin8 factor being the
recruitment of qualificd staff. This is a problem across the sector and particularly bad in Cambridge. One of the
ways we have dealt with this challenge is by partncrin8 with Cambridge Regional College lo bring trainees who
work towards tlieir certification while they are with us.
WL have recruited tlie following staff this yeai.: Halcy (Early Years Assistant) iii March, Paul (Chcfj in June,
Maja (Apprentice chco in Scplember and C'hloc (Apprenlice) in Septcmbcr.
Two apprentices completed their training but botli decided not to continue in cliild care. We did however

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Going Concern
The Nurserv continues to monitor it.8 outgoings very closely. especially food costs thal are
kLpt as low as possible by frequently shopping around.
Encrgy costs remain high and we ure limited iii OL￿ abilily to sLarch for cheapcr electricity and gas by
the terms of oiir lease.
14ousing Association - shared infornialion from housing still continucs to be an issue. re8ular meetings
arc held with the Housing Officers to address any problems.
For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparin8 the fmancial Ststements. Furthor
details regarding the adoption of the going conccrn basis can bc lound in the accounting policies.
b. Reserves polle.Tr'
In case of unexpected events, such as increcises in costs or loss of income streams, we are aiming to retsin fTee
reserves equivalLnt to 4-5 months, turnover (£140,000 to £180,000). As at 3 0 September 2024, reservcs wcrc
£158,801, which is within the larget range. We continue to hold our reserves in cash, splil between our accoLints.

Nurser! Fees continue to be the main source of inconie. Areas of expenditure have alreadv bcen mentioned in
the Review of Activities seclion as we conlinue to maintain and develop the nursery facilities.
The Nursery receives the use of premises. which are leased from a social housing provider in Cambridge. As a

of the property the landlord is nol able to detennine a market rent. No in-kind donalion for rent has therefore
