The Nursery oversees those who volunteer.
Like most charities, St Mary’s Nursery has seen a change in its volunteering, some have stepped down, and some are re-engaging. We are grateful for all who have given their time, and work for the benefit of us all.
Objectives
Our Mission (Intent) is to inspire children to grow, flourish and live life in all its fullness. (John10:10)
Our Ethos (Implementation) we provide an enabling environment by creating opportunities to explore, problem solve, risk take and become deeply engaged in play. We follow children’s interests and extend their learning using open-ended questions and resources in the moment.
Our Vision (Impact) Children leave us ready for their journey into school, having reached their full potential to take them into the wider world.
We follow the guidance of the Early Years Statutory Framework and Ofsted Requirements.
Our curriculum is based on the EYFS learning and development requirements. Our current Curriculum Focus since the pandemic and due to our high number of EAL children is PSED particularly children’s Wellbeing and also C&L, we have introduced the Thrive Approach and Early Talk Boost programme to support this.
We have also adopted a specialist pedagogical approach, The Curiosity Approach, which is based on child-led learning.
It is our INTENT to create children who are thinkers and doers who make their own choices, building confidence, critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

How we implement our curriculum sh ~~fo~~
Our environment covers all 7 areas of learning, with open ended natural resources, we allow children to be the leaders of their own learning. Our practitioners use their in-depth knowledge of their key children, with the 3 I’s at the forefront of their minds when setting up invitations to play focusing on what children need to know next.
Through the use of open-ended questions and teachable moments, practitioners extend children’s learning ‘in the moment’.
How do we know the impact of our curriculum?
Before children join the setting, we gather information from the parents which gives us a holistic view of the child before they start.
Through consistent progress and development updates with parents, we are able to have an understanding of what children ‘know and can do’, ensuring they reach their own individual full potential for the next stage in their learning journey.
Achievements and Performance

Installation of an outdoor wooden shelter providing both shade from the sun and protection from the rain and a new large mud kitchen. These were funded by Deprivation funding.
Resurfacing of the tunnel and hills with new Astro turf as previous surface had become unsafe. Funded by Deprivation Funding.
In the summer we had a volunteer group from Surrey Choices along with horticulturalists attend for 2 days to review and maintain our allotment area.
Purchase of a greenhouse for the allotment area and installation of a slabbed base. This will support sustainability as part of our action plan enabling the children to grow and harvest their own produce all year round. Funded by Deprivation Funding.

Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31[st] August 2025 for St Mary’s Nursery, Camberley
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of St Mary’s Nursery, Camberley
(Registered Charity no. 1168824)
I report on the accounts of St Mary’s Nursery for the year ended 31 August 2024 which are set out on the attached pages in respect of an examination carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the examiner
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 (2) of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my resposability to :
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act;
-
Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commisioners under section 145(5) (b) of the Act; and
-
State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commisioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as a trustees concerting any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
Accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. The accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
The accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
