In September 2016 we were awarded a GOOD Ofsted Inspection. ## **Objectives and Activities** The objectives of the CIO are to offer appropriate play, education and care facilities family learning and extended hours. Working in partnership with parents to take responsibility for and to become involved in the Organisation, ensuring that the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum is offered to all children whatever their race, culture, religion, means or ability. To encourage the study of the needs of such children and their families and promoting public interest in and recognition of such needs in the local areas. Instigating and adhering to and furthering the aims and objects of the Early Years Alliance. This year the setting operated at a financial profit, and continued to review their financial procedures and staffing structure throughout the year. Setting was committed to keeping our opening hours to meet the needs of families on our local community. ## **Achievements and Performance** The setting had fewer children attending the early year’s provision. We had spaces for more and are constantly looking at ways to advertise our organisation. This has included fee paying adverts in local publications and posters, leaflet drops and being part of local festivals and events throughout the year. Croft Pre School Warrington takes part in a number of local community initiatives such as carnivals, fetes and Christmas events. ## **Reference and administration** The name of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation is Croft Pre School Warrington.

Financial Review Our main source of funding was the Early Years Education Funding, given to parents of children aged 2, 3 and 4, which gave them access to free childcare, and parents’ fees. We accepted childcare vouchers from a number of providers. We were also in receipt of the 30 hours free childcare funding which had a really positive impact on our setting. Fundraising money has successfully paid for Christmas parties, sensory resources, providing outdoor learning and physical activities for our children, purchasing new books and resources, and our leavers’ events. ## **Plans for the future** To increase the number of children attending our Early Years provision.
