paid for by parents.
Additionally, 2 children received additional early Years Pupil Premium to improve the provision that disadvantaged 3 and 4 year olds receive. We use this additional funding to support children that are not making expected progress for staff training or to purchase additional equipment, resources or organised experiences.
We value the contribution made by committee members and parents together with the hard work of staff and would like to extend our thanks to all who have worked hard to make the nursery a success and raise funds.
The trustees have reviewed and are satisfied they have compiled with their duty in section 17 of the Charities act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.

during the year
broken equipment and continue to offer extra activities such as soccer school, Diddi dance and Talking Tots. During the year we put on events such as family disco and quiz night but with the COVID restrictions this has been less than previous years. However they were able to take part in a Christmas Trail where the public were able to donatue and find the Grinch throughout Witham.
Due to the restrictions and having many children at home we have purchased equipment to allow for remote activities. Children were still able to access some of the extra activities such as Diddi dance via their computers at home. Additionally we have invested in an app to improve our communication and relationships with parents and staff.
As ever the committee will continue to provide funding for the training and improvement but most of all support for our wonderful staff, as we continue on this journey as Witham Valley Nursery.
