## Oscars: 1133716 

OSCARS has had a year of ups and downs. Due to some issues with the previous manager, we have had undue expenditure leaving us in a large deficit. We then hired a far more competent manager who has improved the atmosphere of OSCARS for staff, parents and children alike. 

We are running at almost capacity during term time. Hot snack has been well received after some teething problems with timings and is a welcome addition for busy parents. We have had a new supervisor who is Level 3 trained and a very welcome addition to the team. A few old employees were also welcomed back to take us up to a far more manageable core team who work well together and get along wonderfully. 

A fire risk assessment found some lighting issues that were then rectified, other electrical works were completed - the cable to the aircon unit was an incorrect diameter leading to power outages during the summer months. Some works were also completed in the kitchen area on the flooring as well as new, safer locks installed on all WCs. We were kindly donated a double glazed front door after the precious wooden one was becoming impossible to open on wet mornings. This has been a very welcome replacement. In all, the building is a serious issue as its lifetime is coming to an end and we will have to make increasing repairs as time goes on. We are also in a deficit and likely to be the same next year due to staffing costs being 90% of our income. 

OSCARS is a wonderful place for staff and children but we are going to be unable to sustain it with increasing outgoings unless we increase the costs to parents sadly.
