benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|In 2022 we had a joint inspection by CIW
and Estyn. Their findings were
overwhelmingly positive, and their minor
recommendations have been addressed.
We continued with our core activity of
providing high-quality childcare, and we
experienced high demand for places.| ## **Additional information (optional)** ## You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
objectives set|Para 1.41|1.
**Develop use of Welsh in the setting.**
We have continued to work on Welsh
provision in the setting.
2.
**Strengthen resilience.**We have
continued to document our processes
and train staff to avoid relying
completely on one or two key people.
3.
**Electronic record keeping.**We have
moved to electronic record keeping for
most back office purposes, making it
easier to manage our data and provide
information to families.| |---|---|---| |Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set|Para 1.41|The vast majority of our income is from
fees and government funding. We do not
have fundraising objectives.| |Investment performance
against objectives|Para 1.41|Our reserves are held in a basic bank
account. Given the relatively small amount,
actively investing them would be
disproportionate.| |Other||| ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|We began the year with cash of £71k and
ended it with £73k. We remain at the top
end of our target cash reserve range, and
breaking even is consistent with our
business plan.| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|We aim to hold a reserve of between 3 and
6 months of operating costs, in order that
we can keep operating even if we lose our
main sources of income. Abruptly stopping
our services would be difficult for families
and very disruptive to the children in our
care.
We have been at the top end of the target
range throughout the year.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|At the end of the year, we held £73k in
cash, which is roughly equivalent to
reserves since we have no material
liabilities.| |Reasons for holding zero
reserves|Para 1.22|N/A| |Details of fund materially in
deficit|Para 1.24|N/A| |Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
