Summary of the main
achievements of the charty
during the year
We conts'nue to see good attendance with all sessions w811-utilised and a
short waiting list for new starters. Cropthome with Charlton C of E school
has confinned its intent to expand its early years provision (beyond

implicat'ons for Pre-sthool.
Vicky Morris continues to manage the setting, alongside working full time
within the preschool. and has helped staff continue to deliver the high
quality childcare that our children are lucky enough to experience. It has
been fantastic to watch the existing staff team develop with some recent
new faces, all bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to
compliment the strong staff team.
The fundraising and generosity of our pre school and village community
has been outstanding, and we have seen amazing contributions. Fingers
crossed for more brilliant fundraising ideas in the coming year!
