Significant activities and achievements against objectives
Throughout the year 131 September 2024 to 3131 August 2025, Woodland Corner ha5 continued lo offer high-quality,
affordable childcare for the local commurbity.
Overall. during this financial year both pre-school and extended school session5 have been exceptionally well
attended and many sessions being at full capacity. This is a pattem we see continuing into the 2025126 academiG
year.
We have further developed and invested in the setting.. with an extension to the side of the building. The extension
has provided additional space for Ihe children and ha5 enabled the creation of a dedicated staff room and nappy
changing area for our younger children. The overall increase in space will allow far 4 more incremental spaces for
all sessions, subject to Ofsted confirmalk)n, and will be particularly beneficial for the exlended school sessions
where we will be able to increase numbers from 24 to 28. New flooring and carpets have been laid Ihroughoul. and
provisions have been made during this process to enable further air conditioning to be added at a later date.
We have run a series of successful fundraising events and actively engage with th& local community. Events have
included an Inflatable Fun Day and a Cake Sale in the village. selling Hot Chocolate and Cookies at the local
Bonfire Night event and a child's focused sponsored Toddle Waddle walk which all the children within the setting
took part in.
Flnancial revlow
We remain in a strong financlal position and consideration shall conb'nue to be given to ways in which we can use
any additional funds to develop the setting further. However going forward we need to be mindful of increased costs.
Reserves policy
As a committee we regularly review our financial situation to ensure that we are operaling with sufficient reserves,
with on going support from Suffolk County Council.
It Is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be
maintained at a minimum level equivalent lo six months, expenditure. The truste8s consider that reserves at this
level will ensure that, in the event of a si9nificant drop in funding, they will be able to conlinue the charity's current
activities while consideration is given to the ways in which additional funds maybe raised. A copy of our Reserves
Policy can be obtained from the Woodland Corner management team.
The18vel of reseN8s has been maintained throughout the period.
