Our structure
The trustees oversee the setting, with the Pre-School Manager attending to the day to day running of the nursery and management of its paid staff. Trustees are recruited by word of mouth and advertising in the parent newsletters, and the village newsletter. All trustees give their time freely and no remuneration or expenses were paid in the year.
Activities & Objectives
Our motivation is that learning should be enjoyable, exciting and fun and we are confident that children will find Little Owls a place where they can discover their world, learn and explore new experiences through play and these experiences will stay with them forever.
At Little Owls our ethos is:
-
To nurture every child to believe in themself, to feel that they know who they are and understand what makes them happy.
-
● To encourage the resilience, independence and confidence to embrace challenges and new experiences.
-
To captivate our children’s engagement with the excitement and wonder that learning can bring, developing their sense of curiosity.
-
To provide an environment that safeguards and enriches our children’s understanding of the natural and physical world.
Achievements & Performance
We run a term time provision of holistic early years education and care using a nature study approach. Little Owls implements daily inputs designed to extend each and every child's learning potentials. The key person system enables focused activities spreading across the early years statutory framework. The forest school sessions run throughout the year engaging the children with seasonal patterns, continually building and nurturing their knowledge and understanding of the world. Alongside our daily provision of early years child centred education, we also contribute to community events such as fetes and fundraisers. Our location and holistic approach is dedicated to nurturing future generations of environmentally aware individuals.
Little Owls has recently received an Ofsted ‘Good’ classification - please see link to the report https://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/provider/16/2603857
Finances
The Pre-School operates a current and reserve account, both of which ended the year in profit. There were no debts held by the nursery. The reserve monies are held to cover any redundancies payments should the setting have to close, for premise refurbishments and general funds to improve the quality of education for the children within the setting.
The principal sources of income are government funded fees and parent non-funded fees. Another key source of income is the fundraising we do through events such as the Christmas raffle, sponsored children's events and community involvement on days such as the village fete.
As a charity the parents of our children have the assurance that all the income of the Pre-School must be applied for educational purposes. The financial benefits we receive from tax exemptions are all applied for educational purposes and indirectly help us to maintain our finances. We pay tax as an employer through the national insurance contributions we make.
