Oscars: 1133716
Oscars has had a good year and managed to add to our savings account this year towards a possible new building in the future. To that end we have carried out a number of essential building repairs that are fairly standard in a terrapin type building of the age of ours. We’ve completely re-organised the space in order to try to maximise the available area of play for the children.
We passed our Ofsted inspection in February which we were all very proud of. We had a very stable staff this year with a low turnover which is a testament to the new management in place as well as the quality of the staff we now have working at Oscars. To that end, we abolished the lower pay banding this year to make the pay structure fairer. We also made a real push to get rid of single use items and be more sustainable as a business. Small things like using re-usable plates instead of Squares of kitchen roll to portion out food make a massive difference to our expenditure and the environment. We also introduced prefects at the end of the year (beginning of the new term) to give the older children a sense of shared responsibility. This has been a huge success. We try really hard as a committee to keep two things in mind with all our decisions, the service we provide as part of a community and making Oscars a welcoming and happy place to work where staff feel appreciated and part of a family. This allows them to concentrate on the needs of the children and making Oscars a warm, happy and safe environment where they feel at home and part of our special “club”.
