Activities Scallywags provides sessional care for up to 20 children per session from 9.00 a.m. to 1.30 p.m. Monday to Friday during school term time. We have extended days until 3.00 p.m. three times a week to help working parents. Parents and carers of attending children are closely involved in the day to day running of the nursery. Parents work shifts in the setting on a rota basis alongside qualified staff. our families come from a diverse range of cultures and offer a rich variety of life experiences for the children to gain from. We currently support several Children who speak English as an additional language or who have additional needs. In planning our activities we have kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidan￿ on public benefit. We are committed to inclusion and offer opportunities for all parents and children whatever their race, culture, religion, means or ability, including those with additional needs. Revlew of the Year During the year the nursery continued to transition from Covid-19 procedures with reduced parent shifts, to increasing involvement of parents in the day to day running of the nursery. The children continued to enjoy a range of activities including celebrating different cultural Celebrations and traditions, growing fruit and vegetables in Ihe nursery garden and Capoeira sessions. Parents were given training on the Statutory Framework for Early Years Foundation Slage through in-house induction sessions and shadow shifts on joining the setting, and guidance from key staff while working in the setting. We continued to provide places for government funded 2, 3 and 4-year-olds working closely with Tower Hamlets Eady Years in offering quality provision for a range of needs. We also provide the 30 hours entitlement for 34 year olds for working parents and from April 2024 the 15 hours entitlement for 2-year olds for working parents. Finance Scallywags, accounts are p￿pared on a re￿iptS and payments basis. The Nursery had a surplus forthe year of£15,738. This would have been a deficit due to a steep reduction in income but money sel aside for rent liability on our previous premises was released as il had been accrued more than six years ago. Our main sources of income are monthly fees and Nursery Education Fund funding and both ofthese are affected by the mix in ages of children in the nursery. Atthe end ofthe summer term a large cohort of children left to start primary school and younger children started in September in staggered starts to facilitate integration which affecied Ihe level of NEF funding and fees. Reserves Policy Scallywags holds cash at bank which are unrestricted funds. We aim lo have enough reserves to over three months of operating costs and closure costs. On behalf of the Trustees G. E.
