||||||There has been a continued<br>slow return of|

||||||Parents continue to not extend their child' s|

||||||The charity has continued<br>to support the|
||||||local primary school with facilitating a|
||||||Breakfast Club which enables wrap around|
||||||care, enabling<br>parents to be able to return|
||||||to their place ofwork, but again numbers|
||||||are low as parents do not have the need for|

|||||||The committee<br>have also had to gauge the|
|||||||impact ofthe increase<br>in minimum<br>wage on|
|||||||the setting. Due to years prior to COVID|
|||||||being extremely<br>busy it is believed the|
|||||||setting<br>will be able to maintain<br>their|
|||||||financial<br>position without<br>having to increase|
|||||||fees for families.|
