## **Steady Steps Pre School** 

## **Annual Trustees Report & Financial Accounts for** 

## **Year ending August 2021** 

## **Aims and Objectives:** 

Steady Steps Pre-school provides quality care and education to children aged from 2 years to rising 5. Our aim is to enhance the learning and development of children under the statutory school age by: 

- Providing a warm safe environment 

- Providing appropriate play based educational activities and care facilities based on the child’s individual needs, interests and abilities 

- Respecting diversity and promote equality of opportunity to children to ensure each child can reach their full potential while in our care 

- Working closely with parents and carers 

- Working closely with other agencies involved in the welfare of the child and or family 

- Ensure the practice manager remains up to date with current practice and legislation 

- Ensuing all staff have relevant qualifications and experience to carry out their duties to a high standard and can evidence on-going continual professional development 

- Adhering to the aims and objectives of the pre–school Learning Alliance 

## **Powers:** 

To pursuance of the objectives the pre-school shall have the following powers: - 

- To provide accommodation and equipment 

- To raise money to pay for the pre-school activities 

- To make such payments as shall be necessary 

## **Reserves:** 

To set aside funds for special purposes or as reserves against future expenditure. In accordance with the Pre-schools Articles of Association the setting is permitted to engage in lawful activity that shall further the Charitable objectives. Money not immediately required to meet objectives may be kept as reserves for the purpose of furthering the charitable objectives e.g. future sustainability and development. We aim to utilise income from restricted funds as soon as reasonably possible after receipt.

## **Family Dynamics:** 

As an inclusive setting we continue to provide care and education to a diverse range of families within our local community and surrounding areas. Family dynamics this year include; 

- Vulnerable families 

- Young parents 

- Service families 

- Children with SEND 

- Looked After children 

- Ethnic Minority 

- Mental Health related illnesses 

At Steady Steps we aim to ensure every child regardless of the family circumstance can reach their full potential during their time with us. To achieve this, we value the importance of working in partnership with the parents/carers by offering throughout the year: 

- Open door policy 

- Informal and formal meetings 

- Service family coffee mornings 

- Family events (fund raising fetes, children’s performances, community walks) 

- Stay and play sessions 

- Celebrate family members day 

- Working with other agencies for support and guidance. 

In the Nursery room we had children attend who were in receipt of 2 year funding, and in the pre-school vulnerable children were in receipt of Early Years Pupil Premium. This year we have worked during the Covid pandemic, remaining open to vulnerable children and children of essential workers. We offered a service during the Easter break 2019 to ensure parents, who were classed as critical workers could go to work. Due to reduced number of children attending we had to furlough a percentage of staff, slowly as numbers increased staff came back to work and were all back in employment by the end of the summer term 2021. 

## **Achievements and performance:** 

Mrs Lambert and Miss Payne have completed their Level 3 Early Years Educator course. 

We took part in a project overseen by Hampshire Services for Young Children to support children’s physical development. Our provision was praised for the opportunities offered to children in our setting to develop their gross and fine motor skills. 

To ensure we maintain the high quality and standards expected of our setting we enrolled on the National Day Nursery Association Accreditation scheme. Although the pandemic has had a huge impact on our provision, we felt it important to deliver a service that reflected our ethos and standards, the accreditation process will ensure we adopt a reflective approach to monitoring our practice

## **Development Plans for the future:** 

Unfortunately, we were not able to work towards our partnership with parents’ program due to the restrictions we were faced during the COVID pandemic, therefore we aim to enhance the way in which we create partnerships with parents and carers. It is hoped that we can form a Parent run group to enable them to have a voice and share their ideas. It is also hoped that the manager and room leaders will provide informative workshops for all parents in the future. 

We want to include the local community and environment as a source of learning.  A sense of community plays an important role in the development of a child’s feelings of belonging and security. We acknowledge that e _arly years’ experience_ should build on what children already know and can do and believe that Community influences can have a positive impact on children by making investments that support healthy social and cognitive development. Children are more likely to succeed in school and boost children’s/human cultural capital, a key ingredient for building strong communities. 

In response to the needs of our youngest children in the community and the impact of children born during the pandemic we have made the decision to take children from the age of 18months. This is to enable socialisation and to support early speech, language and communication skills. 

We also plan to work closely with the Health Visiting team and offer a weight and height clinic in our setting. 

The trustees have re commenced discussion to consider changing the way Steady Steps Pre School are structured to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) The accounting period was successfully changed and from August 2021 our financial period will be from September 1st to 31st August 

**Structure, Governance and Management** : Please refer to page 3 of the Financial Accounts for year ending August 2021 ‘The charity, its Members, Board of Trustees, Staff and Professional Advisors’ 

Our setting continues to be governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, is a Limited Company by Guarantee as defined by the Companies Act 2006. In accordance with the Articles the Charity is managed by the Committee, the Trustees (Charities Act2006) is made up of Affiliated and nonaffiliated members.  The Trustees are appointed on the basis of their willingness to meet the roles and responsibilities of a Trustee, complete a full induction and have an enhanced DBS certificate (this process is part of the induction requirements).
