These policies are kept at the Nursery and are reviewed and updated annually.
Objectives and Activities:
At Catherington Nursery we aim to:
-
provide high quality care and education for children primarily below statutory school age;
-
- work in partnership with parents to help children to learn and develop;
-
e add to the life and well being of its local community; and
-
e offer children and their parents a service that promotes equality and values diversity.
-
we ensure children are in a safe and stimulating environment:
-
are given generous care and attention, because of our ratio of qualified staff to children, as well as volunteer parent helpers;
-
have the chance to join with other children and adults to live, play, work and learn together;
-
e are helped to take forward his/her learning and development by being helped to build on what he/she already knows and can do;
-
each child has a personal key person who makes sure each child makes satisfying progress:
-
e Catherington Nursery sees parents as partners in helping each child to learn and develop; and * in which parents help to shape the service it offers.
Children start to learn about the world around them from the moment they are born. The care and education offered by the Nursery helps children to continue to do this by providing all of the children with interesting activities that are appropriate for their age and stage of development.
For children between the ages of 0 and 5 years, the Nursery provides a curriculum for the foundation stage of education. This curriculum is set out in a document, published by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority and the Department for Education and Skills, called Curriculum Guidance for the Early Years Foundation Stage Revised 2021. We follow this guidance. We are also regularly inspected by OFSTED — last inspection November 2015. We were awarded “Outstanding”.

CATHERINGTON NURSERY
TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 315" AUGUST 2021
The guidance divides children's learning and development into seven areas:
EYFS has defined seven areas of learning and development. These are divided into three prime areas and four specific areas.
The three prime areas are the most crucial for a child's healthy development:
- e Communication and language » Physical Development e Personal, Social & Emotional Development
The four specific areas detail the important skills your child will need to develop:
- e Literacy e Mathematics e Understanding the World e Expressing Arts & Design
Summary of main achievements of the charity for the year 2020-2021:
Following government guidelines, the Nursery remained open through the pandemic, from June 2020 to July 2021, and most children attended as normal. All staff continued to work throughout.
Staff have continued to enhance their knowledge and continuous professional development training. We fund all our courses independently.
Financial review:
We try to hold a reserve of approximately £5000 to meet any unforeseen expenditure. Our main source of funds is received through Early Years government funding for 2 & 3-year old's. We also receive fees from children that don’t receive funding (funding is given to children in the term after their 2"? & 3° birthday).
Once all running costs/expenditure have been paid, all remaining funds are used to provide the children with equipment and resources.
Future plans:
Management will ensure that all policies, procedures and documentations are in line with OFSTED current guidelines.
The Trustees’, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31% August 2021.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies’ regime under the Companies Act 2006.

Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable.
1.4 Expenditure
Resources expended are recognised in the period in which they are incurred. Resources expended are allocated to the particluar activity where the cost relates directly to that activity.

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The charity's financial assets and liabilities consist of cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, trade debtors, trade creditors and accrued expenses. The fair value of these items approximates their carrying value due to their short term value. Unless otherwise noted, the charity is not exposed to significant interest, foreign exchange or credit risks arising from these instruments.
Term deposits of less than one year are classified as investments within current assets.
1.7 Deferred Income
Income is deferred where the charity is not yet entitled to the use of the resources. When the pre-conditions for use are met then the income is recognised.
