inclusive in all areas of the service we provide. We believe that a caring
and homely atmosphere is paramount to children developing to their full
potential. All children and their families are welcome at Cool Cats Club,
where diversity is respected and all children are valued. We value the
partnerships and friendships we develop with parents and carers, we do
this by listening and responding to suggestions gathered from our parent
surveys. We endeavour to promote resilience in the children in our care,
we do this by encouragement, praise and the try and try again mantra.
Cool Cats Club is committed to providing a fully rounded service which
complements the dynamics of the families who use our service. Most of
all we will always put the child first and value every child.
Aims: To provide a caring affectionate environment for the children in our
care. To meet all the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Phase.
Endeavour to support happy and confident learners. That every child
leaves Club with a smile on their face. To hold weekly meetings to plan
the next week of wrap around care. To regularly ask parents and children
for suggestions of activities and events. To always have the correct child
to adult ratio as sent out by the Care and Social Services Inspectorate for
Wales and where possible exceed these ratios. Always to invent
engaging activities which also aid development. To keep prices

The equipment greatly improved **achievements of the charity** the children’s enjoyment of outdoors. **during the year** We also successfully applied to become a setting for key workers, this allowed essential workers the ability to continue working without the worry of soaring childcare costs. This scheme lasted until September 2020 and allowed vaccination workers, NHS and supermarket workers to continue their important work. Staff members continued working on their NVQ professional qualifications in Children’s Care, Learning and Development alongside all the mandatory CPD training. **Section E Financial review** Any profits are put back into the club for the benefit of the children, with **Brief statement of the** the purchase of equipment and toys as well as educational supplies. **charity’s policy on reserves Details of any funds materially** N/A **in deficit Further financial review details (Optional information)** Cool Cats Clubs principle funding source is childcare fees received from You **may choose** to include parents in respect of the childcare utilised. additional information, where relevant about: During this time period the Club also had to make use of the Government • the charity’s principal Job Retention Scheme (Furlough) to help with payment of staff wages. sources of funds (including The Club would not have been able to stay open to provide childcare for any fundraising); Keyworkers and maintain employment of our staff without this help. • how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s)** M.
