The accounts show a net surplus for the year of £2.740 12024.. £4,807), leaving a carry forward of £118,739 12024..

Sustainability
The nursery continues to implernent the new opening and closing time5 introduced 135t year. They have worked well
and also give stsff fflore time at the end of the Llay to plan and prepare for the following day.
Thls year. to help the nursery remain sustainablè. the decision was made to introduce the new government ratio for
two-year-olds. This increased from one prattitioner to four two-year-olds to one prartitioner to five two-year-olds.
Parents have been happy to pay the £2.00 per week snack charge, which has now been altered to 50p per day
attended. This was considered a fairer systern as some children attend every day and other5 attend only two
sessions. These changes have helped the nursery remain sustainable aThd ensured that a fee increase has not been
implemented this year.
Fundraising has taken place throughout the year. Activities have intluded book sales and Christmas, Mother's Day
and Father'5 Day stay-and-play Sessions. Parent5 attend the session5 Wlth their children and make a contribution. This
income is then utili5ed to buy leaving gifts for our preschool children. hold a leavers, party at Littleland children's role

This year the nursery was approached by Ashford College to offer a joint placement with Repton Manor School for two
T Level students. The course Is è govemment initiative that helps train young people over a two-year framework and
athievÈ a LÈVÈI 3 standard. ThÈ studÈnts havè bÈÈn doing wèll and it is hopÈd that thÈy will rÈmain In platÈ
throughout the rest of their qualtfication.
The setting also welcomed its first volunteer. Nanny Chris. to the teèm. She previously had a grandchild attend the
setting and felt so supported that she wanted to volunteer her time. So far. Nanny Chris has spent time with the
thildrÈn s@wing, gardèning and tooking. We Can already see the benefits the children havÈ gainÈd from spending
tirne with 50rneone with a wealth of life experience. Parents have also shared that they feel it 15 a lovely experience
for the children to have Nanny Chris at nursery.
As required by the Eady Years Statutory Framewo￿. staff continue to complete two-year-old checks and starting
points for childrÈn once they have attended the setting for six wèeks. Staff also tompleted home visits In lune this
year. The key person visited alongside the Manager. enabling the child to get to know their key person while allowing
inforrnation to be gathered frorn PaTents to support the child's Starting point.
In addition to the stètutory assessments that the setting completes. transition reports continue to be prepared for
every sthool leaver. A copy Is given to parents and the child's prospettivè primary sthool. The rèports include
attsinment levels. attendance, infomation ￿ SUPKK)rt school transition. favourite areas of leaming, strengths and
area5 that may require further developrnent. Thi5 year photographs have a150 been included within the report to be

The setting continues to Implement plannin9 based on children's inte￿$ts, ages and abilities. offering a wide range of

Children have leamt about Eid. Christmas, Thanksgiving and Diwoli. Families have supported the nursery by sharing
photograph5 of their celebrations aThd bringing in food for children and staff to try.
Personal Developrnent. Behaviour and Welfa
Staff training rernain5 a priority and all staff members attended a Basic Safeguarding Training refresher course.

Our administrator. Rosiè. completed both a Cybei ￿t￿rity course and GDPA course. Staff continue to refresh
safeguarding training annually through Kent Safeguarding Board online. Courses include Prevent. Witchcraft, County
Line5 and Hurnan Traffi'cking.
This year we found that lots of childTen have been slightly later with toilet training, To help them feel more
comfortable in our toileting area. we updated the area through redecoration and refurbishrnent of the sink area.
Parent5 a150 helped make the area more inviting by sending in photograph5 of the children brushing their teeth. The
children enjoy finding their photographs and the Thewly decorated area has encouraged them to use the toilets.
We used £700 of the £900 receiveLI from the Collaboration to update OUT mud kitchen area in the garden, The
previous mud kitchen wa5 t¢Jo low for many children staff to use comfortably. A contractor was engaged to add
new sleepers and raise the area. Bark chips and new resources including Pots. spoons and mud kitchen recipes were
also introduced. The children then added their own irnagiTratioTr to create mud pies. castles and leaf stew. This area
has helped develop many aspects of children's leaming including physical development. mathematics. language and
social Interaction.
The remaining £200 was utilised for home leaming bags. These included story sacks such as The Colour Monster to
help children explore and understand their feelings. a dentist bag to promote toothbrushing. a toileting bag ènd a
song bag to promote language development. Children have enjoyed taking the bags home and exploring them with
their families.
Outcomes for Children

Each session helps children develop language. sentence building. listening and attention skills. positive relationships
and social cues. The sessions have had a very positive Impact on our children. We have seen them grow in
confidence. follow Instrnrtions. listen more carefully and develop their language skills.
