						Level 3qualification. This year, as in
						the past, we have been able to offer
						opportunities to trainee early years
						practitioners seeking to gain practical
						vocational experience.
						In recent years Speech and language
						development has been identified as an
						area ofparticular concern for children
						starting school. In previous years we
						have trained our staff to help those
						children who are having particular
						diffficuity in this area. During this year
						we have obtained funding from a local
						trust to enable us to bring in a specialist
						speech and language practitioner to
						work with some ofour children once a
						week. We have seen great results from
						this and have been able to recommend
						this to Scarning VC Primary School, on
						whose site we are based.

With some ofthe surplus money from
previous years and using some ofour
fundraising surplus we have been able
to install a canopy which runs all along
the back ofthe building and means that
the children can have access tothe
outside even when the weather is poor.
This has improved on the work that took
place last year and makes a difference
to the children as we enjoy seeing them
making the most of being outside in all
weathers.
