Charity No. 112790
This trustees report outlines the performance during the financial year that ended 31[st] July 2024.
Introduction
Woodbridge day nursery was formerly known as Kyzone nursery and it has the following aims;
1 The aims of the Day Nursery are to enhance and create a firm foundation for the chidren’s development and offering a great start to their education journey. We achieve this by;
(a) offering appropriate play, education and care facilities, family learning and extended hours.
(b) providing a supportive and stimulating environment where young children develop socially, emotionally through play based learning.
The nursery is registered to accommodate up to 35 children at any time and provides care and education for children aged 0-5 years. It operates Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 18:00, for approximately fifty-one weeks of the year. Currently, there are 51 children aged 0-5 years enrolled.
We are approved to accept the Government’s Early Years Free Entitlement (EYFE) for both 15-hour and 30-hour funding, Early Years Pupil Premium, Childcare Vouchers, and the Government Tax-Free Childcare scheme.
The children come from varied backgrounds; some are government-funded, while others pay full fees.
All our staff are certified at Level 2 or higher in childcare, and they undergo comprehensive training in safeguarding and child care practices.
The Nursery has 14 qualified practitioners, most of whom have been there for over five years.
Mission
Our mission is to offer a supportive environment where children can play, grow, and develop their talents, while becoming independent and confident individuals who reach their full potential.
Ethos
Our Ethos prioritizes children, believing they learn best when they are happy, secure, calm, and self-assured.
Staff set high expectations and inspire children to explore and learn.
We ensure that all children participate in every activity, providing effective learning opportunities through well-planned experiences both indoors and outdoors.
We collaborate closely with parents and carers, ensuring that inclusion remains central to our practices and procedures.
Objectives
Our objectives are to foster a positive attitude towards health and wellbeing in children, promote positive behavior and respect for others, and ensure that all children are prepared for school.
Finances
Please find attached the Unaudited Financial Statements for the year ended 31st July 2021, prepared by Hammond Ford Accountants.
All income received was from fees paid by parents for personalised childcare services for their children, which were then used to cover wages and operational costs.
The nursery does not engage in fundraising activities or solicit funds or services from organizations or parents. Any funds received are strictly for services rendered.
Plans for the future;
The Nursery provision will maintain its childcare services, ensuring sustainability and continued support for the needs of families and young children.
Governance
The Board of Trustees will support the staff in delivering services and finding ways to meet our charity's objectives.
Woodbridge Day Nursery, a registered charity and company limited by guarantee, is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association.
All trustees are registered with OFSTED and enrolled in the DBS update service.
All trustees have equal voting rights, except for the Nursery Manager, who does not participate in votes. None of the trustees receive any remuneration or expenses from the charity.
The charity is structured so that the Trustees meet regularly to manage its affairs. There is a policy of continual review of operational and financial risks based on established policies and procedures. The Trustees convene regularly throughout the year. The pay of the charity’s key personnel is reviewed annually and typically increased according to average minimum wage increments.
