| achievements ofthe charity during the year |
In September 2020, following previous lockdown restrictions, all children returned to nursery and previously shielding staff returned to work. We implemented a rigorous risk assessment to prevent the spread of Covid as much as possible. |
|
| Unfortunately, due to an outbreak ofCoronavirus and staff shortages we closed the nursery on 18~January 2021 forone week. Also for a short period in June 2021 to carry out a deep clean following a Norovirus outbreak. This resulted in us refunding our fee-paying parents. |
||
| Despite all ofthe challenges, we have faced the demand forplaces increased particularly fortwo year olds. |
||
| The 'In the Moment Planning' approach is established in our practice. Along with elements ofthe Curiosity Approach' which encourages us to create the 'thinkers S doers' ofthe future by providing an environment that inspires curiosity. We have taken elements ofReggio Emilia philosophy, which encourages children to take a lead in their learning and Hygge creating a warm and inviting environment forgood wellbeing. |
||
| The outdoor and indoor environments have evolved by using upcycled items reducing waste. |
||
| We have provided charitable sessions forsome ofour most vulnerable families to support the wellbeing ofthe children and their families. |
||
| In the holklays we supported our families by providing food vouchers, a lending library, free resources via our online system and held free 'stay and play' sessions in the church hall forour nursery families and the local coillillunity. |
||

A large part ofour cohort are FEETfunded two year olds and children with English as an additional language. We also have chklren who are on Child Protection Plans (CPP)orare Children In Need (CIN). |
