Achievements and performance
We have continued to focus on developing training opportunities for staff Summary of the main and social fundraising activities, that had been absent during COVID, achievements of the charity have improved the financial performance of the preschool, along with during the year strong attendance numbers. The preschool was visited by OFSTED for a formal report in October 2022. Learnings were taken from the feedback but receiving the outcome of Good was a great result. We had some staff changes with our Deputy Manager Hannah leaving in July 2023. The role split so we have a separate Deputy Manager and SENCO. This will reduce the impact in the future should there be any further staff changes and it was a great opportunity for internal staff promotion and development.
