Achievements and Performance

|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | The main achievement has been seeing the children happy, grow in confidence, and have lovely learning experiences during their time with us. Our staff worked hard and enjoyed helping children develop new skills and made sure the children’s wellbeing is a priority. The childcare offer has been very successful. The eligible children attend our sessions in the morning before we take them by walking bus to school on same site, where they have lunch (supervised by school) and later attend school nursery in the afternoon. The transition of our children from our setting to school nursery has been made as smooth as possible. We have a positive working relationship with the School and have been able to give our children face- to-face transition opportunities. |
