## HIGHMORE HEDGEHOGS NURSERY 

WESTFIELDS COMMUNITY HALL, HIGHMORE STREET, HEREFORD, HR4 9PG Ofsted Registration No: EY 464526 

Trustees Annual Report 1/9/2020 – 31/8/2021 

Despite the ongoing pandemic, this has been an extremely busy year for Highmore Hedgehogs Nursery with high numbers of children attending. During this academic year only one member of staff has tested positive for COVID19 (in January) 2020, and two children (siblings) tested positive in August 2020. The Nursery has stayed open throughout the pandemic with a total of 57 children on the register. At the end of August 2021, fifteen of our children left to join five different Primary Schools within Herefordshire. In September 2021 we will have 44 children on the register with more due to join us in January and April 2022. 

This year the Nursery income was made up from Nursery Education Funding from the Local Authority and Nursery fees which remained at £4.00 per hour. Some additional funding (Inclusion Funding) was received to give 1:1 support to a child with ASD. This year we have also received a further (and final payment) of £3090.82 from the Co-op Community fund which has enabled us to buy more room dividers and some outdoor equipment which includes a mud kitchen and some new tricycles. 

The main expenditure was on Nursery Staff Wages and rent of the premises, along with cleaning equipment & PPE, training, advertising, insurance, Ofsted, telephone/Broadband and subscriptions to our online Learning Journal system and membership of NDNA. 

The closing balance at 31.8.21 was £20,970.78.
