## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 (continued)** 

## **Summary of the Main Achievements of the Charity During the Year** 

Over the past financial year the preschool has continued to make improvements to both the physical learning environment and our daily practice to increase occupancy. This financial year has been hit with the COVID 19 pandemic, which saw 1 staff member furloughed and preschool only open for key worker children. From June 2020 preschool reopened to all children but continued with low numbers as many families kept their children at home or postponed their start dates. 

Our forest school sessions remain popular and in high demand, we have continued to welcome all children attending on these sessions. We were successful in securing a grant from the MOD to make improvements and purchase equipment to extend the opportunities available during our sessions and build a community with our military families. 

Our apprentice successfully completed her NVQ2 and we are now supporting her to achieve her NVQ3 and one member of staff has complete their first year of their degree with the Open university. 

We have been advertising for new members of staff for a full time and part time position to support children with additional needs and to enable us to continue at full occupancy. 

Preschool pension contributions increased throughout this year. 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic preschool has had limited opportunities for fundraising events throughout the year including, we have managed some successful online events and raffles which will continue until the ease on COVID restrictions. 

## **Summary of Main Activities and Public Benefit** 

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. 

The Pre-school aims to: 

- Stimulate the development of local children aged 2 to 4 through play and early education 

- Help these children to gain social skills 

- Create a sense of belonging to the local community.
