Achievements and Performance

SORP reference Sunshine currently has 151 children on roll and employs 32 staff. Summary of the main Para With rises in the minimum wage, national insurance and achievements of the charity, 1.20 energy costs, we had to focus on careful budgeting. As the identifying the difference the grant money for the 2, 3 and 4 year olds, although rose charity’s work has made to slightly, didn’t cover the extra outlay that these rises the circumstances of its brought, with this in mind we had to increase our fees and beneficiaries and any wider look at ways to reduce our costs. We installed hand dryers benefits to society as a which has helped us save money on a weekly paper towel whole. bill of over £50. We changed suppliers for our cleaning products. We saved money changing from contract cleaners to employing our own cleaner. We have also changed food suppliers. This last year we had disruption due to rodents. This is under control again at the moment. We now have a contract with a local pest control firm who have installed bait boxes. This, as well as good housekeeping will hopefully keep them at bay. In the 15 years we have been in these premises this was the first time that we had an invasion of rodents. But there was disruption to parents as well as loss of income and the expenditure of pest control. Thank you to all the parents for your patience and support regarding this. We had a busy year and post Covid began to have visitors back in the building. We had some excellent feedback from visits by LCC advisors. We have started to see professionals coming back into our setting such as health visitors, social workers, speech and language therapists and physiotherapists. This is so much better than Zoom call meetings. We have started to reintroduce story time sessions in our Pre school rooms where we invited parents in to enjoy them too. Under 3’s provision Caterpillar, Butterfly and Ladybird Rooms A very busy year for our babies. Kelly continues to lead the Caterpillar room supported by Alison, Andrea and Kirsty. In August, they welcomed Rachel to their team. Chelsea and Audrey are based in the Butterfly room with Kay coming in to cover their lunches. Sadly Chelsea is leaving us soon to take up a job in the sunshine and Lucy from the pre school room will be moving in there shortly. Our Ladybird room has had another busy year and Vicky continues to lead her room supported by Kane, Amy, Carol and Billie-Jo. We have noticed that the transitions between these rooms have been working very well. The rooms have been working really well together and staff have embraced the post Covid changes.

Pre school

Dragonfly & Grasshopper Rooms Amy. Julie, Sammie and Sue have been based in the Dragonfly room for the year with Emma and Moses helping out in the evenings. Rebecca, Becky, Lucy and Katherine have been based in the Grasshopper room for the past year. Both rooms work closely together with

Rebecca leading over both rooms. In the coming weeks Amy and Becky are swapping rooms and Lucy will be heading to work in the Butterfly Room.

Out of School

Sam continues to lead this room supported by Ross.

The Snug

The Snug is now a space where small groups of children have been participating in adult led activities. We have been undertaking activities to promote the children’s wellbeing. We are also fundraising for some sensory equipment to enable to room to be used as a sensory room as well. We have just received a grant from our local ELDC Councillor Brookes for £450 to put towards further sensory equipment. Professional Development

This year staff have updated their paediatric first aid training as well as other courses. We are pleased to announce that Amy Cox has completed her Level 3 with distinction and that Kirsty and Billie-Jo will complete their Level 3’s later this year. Becky has been busy undertaking some research for the University of Sheffield around speech and language.

The year ahead

Moving forward this year, we are faced again with huge rises in the minimum wage and energy costs so sadly we have to increase our fees again. There is no rise in the grants we receive to support children with additional needs and our SEN department continues to flourish despite being seriously underfunded by government. We also need ensure that our service and the high level of care doesn’t drop whilst ensuring we can still remain financially viable. Although we have to address how the current financial climate is affecting us, we can’t let it consume us. We still need to remember why we are here and the valuable work we all do.

Recently, we have had some problems with vandalism at the nursery. We have reported this to the police and have given them CCTV footage. We are looking at the feasibility of making our site secure with perimeter fencing. Although the buildings and play areas are secure our grounds aren’t. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff for all their hard work over the last year and to thank the Committee and parents for their continuing support.

The team are always looking at options for grants, funding and ideas to consistently improve our offering to our families registered at Sunshine. If any parents, guardians, friends and the like have any ideas for fund raising or grants we could apply for, please see the office who will be more than happy to take these ideas on board and share them with the team.

We would like to personally thank all staff for their continued hard work and dedication to retaining the fantastic reputation Sunshine have built over the years and again a huge thank you to all parents and guardians as without you and your children, we would have no centre.
