Objectives
Ashridge Nursery is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO): a CIO is a charity registered as a body corporate under Part 11 of the Charities Act 2011. The charity has been established for 42 years and is run by voluntary committee members. The nursery employs between 10-12 staff and has up to 30 places available for children during each session. The nursery is open during term term and school hours and is located in Wokingham on the same site as a Primary School, Childrens Centre and a Pupil Referral Unit. The aim of Ashridge Nursery is to provide safe, affordable community childcare for the residents of Wokingham.
The following trustees held office during the year ended 31 August 2021: Chair Lisa Vickers Secretary Anna Peck Treasurer Jen Robinson
Setting & Activities
Ashridge Nursery CIO trustees have transferred all activities of Ashridge Nursery Parents Association to the new Ashridge Nursery CIO set up. The nursery has now had a registration visit from OFSTED and the full transfer of activities has now been completed. The management committee and staff continue to work hard to ensure Ashridge is a popular choice for local childcare. We offer a range of flexible session options for children including Universal Entitlement of 15 hours and 30 hour placements. A lunch club is also offered to allow children to stay all day.
Provision
Provision is made for up to 30 pupils per session over 10 sessions per week (Monday to Friday) as follows: Morning session (8.45am - 11.45am) Lunch session (11.45am - 12.30pm) Afternoon session (12.30pm - 3.30pm)
Lease
During this financial year a new lease was agreed with Wokingham Borough Council. A local solicitor was engaged by the committee to complete this process.
Recruitment
We currently have a vacant post for the role of Manager and this is being advertised locally and nationally. We have had a small number of interested applicants but are yet to take anyone through to interview. Within the Early Years Sector there seems to be shortage of staff at many nurseries. Our deputy manager is currently covering this role on a temporary basis
Maintenance
Planning is underway to refurbish the outside area behind the building. The aim is for this area be used as a nature garden and sensory play area to enhance the learning and play opportunities at Ashridge.
COVID19
Our staff remain vigilant and continue to maintain suitable infection control procedures with the children and in the nursery.
