2022-2023 

## Trustee Report 

We continue to offer early year’s education to eligible funded children free at the point of delivery. Working within a deprived area this is vital to enable all children regardless of economic status to access high quality provision to achieve a good level of development. 

During this year we have had many issues to contend with. In the first term we were due an inspection from Ofsted, which when received in December we were graded outstanding in all areas. After receiving such an exemplarily result it enabled us to reopen discussion with the local primary school in regards to relocation. Our existing lease was due to finish in July 2023 and due to the ever increasing maintenance costs and utilities renewing was not an option. The school governors and trust agreed to lease us an area within the school for a set monthly charge. The wheels were set in motion to complete relevant paperwork and advice was sought from a solicitor to negotiate the terms of contract. 

The new lease includes all maintenance costs, utilities, phone line, broadband and waste collections. This vastly reduces the overheads making our setting more viable and giving stability for the year ahead. 

During the summer term we worked tirelessly to prepare the old building and grounds to hand back to the landlord in the condition stipulated in our lease. This involved clearance of some overgrown buddleia, drain jetting and cleaning guttering. Alongside this time was taken to carefully sort through resources and pack in readiness for moving. 

The new building required very little change as it was already a purpose built EYFS unit. We were fortunate a local carpentry company donated their time and resources to build a partition wall to create a sleep area. 

The future is looking bright and we are optimistic that our sustainability will continue to grow in a very challenging climate for childcare providers.

Parents were invited lo woik alongside their child, in a gTQilP. aimed to promoie ¢ommuni¢ation and language skills.
This was regularly attended and had a great impact such as. non-verbal children beginning to sigD.
In December, we had ali unannounced Ofsted insp¢¢tion and w¢ie found to be OutslandinK in all areas! This validated
our pra¢ii¢e and fvrther served to discredit the previou.% judgment flve months earlier. We also invited families to join
their childien a'cakes and ¢arols' afternoon which was exceptionally well alteiided.

by inviting all families for a BBQ lunch to whtch the Mayor atien(kd and gave every child a cominernorative mug
fimded by the local lowry] council.

Signlfitont activitie5
We rejoice in what wab a laniasli¢ year IOT Ventnor Conimunity Early Years. We slarted the year ¢ollaborating with
Planet aware organising and implementing successful rock pooling visits to Bonchurch bea¢li teaching the children about
che environment and what we can do to look after it. In October, we started a weekly parent group called 'Sing and Sign,.
Parents were invited lo woik alongside their child, in a gTQilP. aimed to promoie ¢ommuni¢ation and language skills.
This was regularly attended and had a great impact such as. non-verbal children beginning to sigD.
In December, we had ali unannounced Ofsted insp¢¢tion and w¢ie found to be OutslandinK in all areas! This validated
our pra¢ii¢e and fvrther served to discredit the previou.% judgment flve months earlier. We also invited families to join
their childien a'cakes and ¢arols' afternoon which was exceptionally well alteiided.
In March, we had various events ftsr our families %uch as.. ]￿ltIng a local artist in for World Book day. raising awareness
of Hydro¢epha]us. and a teddies beaWs picnic at a local conllnunity hub.
In April. we were very fortunate 10 receive more toothbrushes and toothpastes from the Southern Cooperative. ThL'S
enabled us to Cont￿UC only ternjly oral hygiene statLOn.
In May, we studied the life cycle of a butterfly,. Ihe children were able to witncss ¢&teLpillars ClEatiiJg chrysalise¥ and
observe the wondemjent of the butterflies emerging before seiiin&7 ihem free. We also celebrated tlJ¢ King?'s coronatioll,
by inviting all families for a BBQ lunch to whtch the Mayor atien(kd and gave every child a cominernorative mug
fimded by the local lowry] council.
In June. we were delighted to be able to rtnally aTmoun¢e ihat we managed to secure a new prernises on the siie of the
ocal primary school. This news was po5￿tiVelY received by all phrent￿Carer￿ and everyone was looking foTward (o
seeiog ihe new selling. The sun)mer montbs. were spent tirel&%8ly moving all cquipment and resources to create a
welcoming environment for the new academic year. Parents gave their free time ta help t]iove fi￿niture up ihe hill in cars
and vans. AÈ the end of the sun]rner lioliday5. w¢ offered an open day lo all new and existing familie5 which was a
tremendous success.
