We offer high quality sessional and full day care which is available for up to thirty children per session. The children can start at the beginning of the term after they will be two years old and stay with us until they leave for school. We follow the guidelines of the Early Years Foundation Stage and aim through play to offer each child the opportunity to expand their experiences of the world, gain knowledge and skills by broadening their horizons and ensuring that they are equipped with the necessary skills to cope with moving on to school. We provide extra targeted activities around Speech and Language **Summary of the main** through the BLAST programme, small group activities and individual 1:1 **activities undertaken for the** reading sessions to help and encourage those children who may need a **public benefit in relation to** little more support. **these objects (include within** We have continued to remain in contact with the residents of a local **this section the statutory** residential via cards and gifts at Christmas and Easter which was greatly **declaration that trustees have** appreciated and hope to resume visits soon. **had regard to the guidance** It is our intention to make our Pre-School genuinely accessible to children **issued by the Charity** and families from all sections of the local community. **Commission on public** We now also run a Babies and Toddler Group on a Thursday morning **benefit)** which has proved popular with parents, grandparents and childminders.

We always have great support from our parents and their extended families. We have been pleased to be able to invite our families back into the setting for end of term events and our Picnic and Sports afternoon. Parents purchase raffle tickets and make donations towards the refreshments that we offer.
Money raised this year has enabled us to purchase more books for our lending library. We have also been able to extend our growing activities by purchasing more gardening utensils and seeds. We were delighted to receive our Level 3 RHS School Gardening Award.
Many of our parents and extended family have signed up to our Easy Fundraising account and with the money raised we have been able to buy each child a book at Christmas time.

Section D Achievements and performance
## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
This year the Pre-School has continued it’s normal levels of attendance with all sessions full. As always, the number of children increases from September through to July and we had 37 children attending during the summer term with 17 children leaving to move onto Primary School. We had lots of new starters and the Autumn term started with 34 children. Staff continue to attend training throughout the year both via Teams or at face to face meetings. Key staff continue attending Managers, Safeguarding and SEND Forums. Our book library has continued to grow in popularity. BLAST sessions have continued as did our small group reading or activity sessions. We are continuing to notice an increase in confidence in the children taking part in these activities and so are extending these.
We continued to use our outside play area including our wildlife area. Our greenhouse has again been in constant use in the early spring with lots of seeds being sown. The children are always very keen to take part in any of the growing activities, including the daily watering and repotting of the plants. Now we have our Level 2 RHS School Gardening award we are working towards our level 4.
Fundraising events: Our fundraising events have mainly been at the end of term when parents are invited in to join us for a play with singing and stay for refreshments afterwards. As previously mentioned, we have now signed up to Easy Fundraising which has doubled our fundraising income this year.

We also receive fees paid by parents for hours attended above this or for children not receiving entitlement funding. For those children who have extra needs we are also able to apply for Alfi funding to pay for extra resources including more staff support.
Our expenditure is mainly on staff wages and purchasing consumables such as paper, paint etc and replacing other equipment. Fundraising money is used to by extra items that enable us to extend our learning environment and particularly support speech and language activities.
