						heading towards the end ofthe year.
						Breakfast club numbers have remained
						low, and we continue to work with the
						school to advertise and provide wrap
						around care.
						The committee have also had to gauge the
						impact ofthe increase in minimum wage on
						the setting. Due to years prior to COVID
						being extremely busy it is believed the
						setting will be able to maintain their
						financial position without having to increase
						fees for families.
						The staff/ committee / trustees have
						continued to organise fundraising activities
						to support purchasing additional
						educational equipment to support the
						children.
