Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
We run 10 supervised pre-school sessions per week for children aged 2- 4 years old.
We continue to pride ourselves on keeping a clean and safe environment for the children in our setting. We provide a range of activities to suit all needs and interests.
This year we opened the preschool to 2 year olds, for the first time. This has been a great success and something we wish to continue for the foreseeable future.
At Willow Tree, we continue to use Tapestry, an online learning journal. This has provided us with an efficient way to correspond with parents and show them what activities the children are doing at preschool.
