Willow tree had a very successful year. It did prove challenging at times due to the pandemic. We opened during the first lockdown to accommodate two key worker children. Junes 1[st] we opened up to more children and had a bubble system, this was very successful, and the children adapted amazingly well. For the children who did not return to Willow Tre we sent out three lots of fun activity packs through the post. We had great feedback from parents and the children loved getting their special post. At Willow Tree we use Tapestry, online learning journal. We send out daily notifications during lockdown, this was done by activities being shared, stories and other activities recorded. This was a lovely way to stay in touch with everyone. . **TAR** March **2012** 4 ## **Section E Financial review** Reserves are held as a security in the event of the charity closing.
