;
In planning our activities for the year, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's public benefit requirements. The trustees consider that the public benefit requirement was met by the main activity during the year; the pre-school education of 17 children.
All children who attend the setting are allocated a key person and each child has a learning journal that includes written observations, samples of work and photographs of the child involved in activities. All activities are linked to the learning outcomes within the Early Years Foundation Stage and by following this document we ensure that all children are making steady progress.
Alongside providing all continuous provision (construction, numeracy, craft, outdoor, literacy etc) the following activities also took place:
- e We enjoyed many local walks around the town and the beautiful countryside that we ae lucky to have on our doorstep.
