## **Achievements and Performance** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|**The charity has consolidated its**<br>**previous work.  The beginning of this**<br>**period saw us just re-opening after the**<br>**second lockdown.  Since then, numbers**<br>**have grown and we have looked at**<br>**improving the quality of our provision.**<br>**This has involved staff training and the**<br>**purchase of new equipment.  Our**<br>**increased numbers mean that more of**<br>**the community are benefiting from the**<br>**quality of service we offer and the**<br>**opportunity this brings for parents and**<br>**carers to obtain employment and/or**<br>**attend further education.  As a result,**<br>**we decided to increase our registered**<br>**number from 19 to 40.  As a result, in**<br>**the summer of 2022 we will have to run**<br>**with a “super-numery” manager, that is,**<br>**a manager who does not count in the**<br>**child/adult ratio.  Staff training has**<br>**enabled us to improve the standard of**<br>**our service in terms of the educational**<br>**value of the care we offer.   We could l**<br>**be in a position to provide holiday care**<br>**in the summer of 2022.**|



## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:

|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|**If we carry forward any money, we look**<br>**to spend it on improving our service (eg**<br>**the plan to increase our staff, or**<br>**purchase of more resources.  We will**<br>**then look at improving the pay and**<br>**conditions of our staff and freezing our**<br>**fees.
