signifcant progress in strengthening and

clear benefts for children, families, and the

The charity secured substantal grant funding
to improve and expand its facilites, with
building works commencing during the year.
Despite this disrupton, the pre-school
successfully relocated into a marquee, ensuring
contnuity of care and educaton with no
interrupton to services.
A key achievement was the promoton of
school readiness. Children made strong
progress across all areas of the Early Years
Foundaton Stage (EYFS), partcularly in
communicaton and language, personal and
social development, and early literacy and
numeracy. Transiton support, including visits
to local schools, helped children move
confdently into primary educaton.
The pre-school contnued to deliver afordable,
high-quality childcare, including full access to
both 15- and 30-hour government-funded
places without restrictons. This enabled
parents and carers to work, study, or train,
reducing fnancial pressures and supportng
family wellbeing.
Strong emphasis was placed on family and
community engagement. The setng built
meaningful relatonships through regular
communicaton, parent meetngs, and events
such as a leavers festval. Community
involvement was enhanced through local visits,
seasonal events (including Easter and
Halloween actvites), a holiday club, and
partnerships with local schools and businesses.
Investment in staf development ensured high
standards of care and educaton. A new
experienced staf member joined the team,
and ongoing professional development| supported continuous quality improvement. Children benefited from a rich programme of activities, trips, and experiences that supported their development and wellbeing. These included visits to local facilities (library, woods, supermarket) and activities promoting physical development, such as the introduction of new outdoor equipment. Opportunities for baking and gardening helped children develop practical life skills and an understanding of healthy living. Seasonal celebrations and themed activities, such as Christmas, Easter, and World Book Day, further enriched children’s experiences and promoted creativity and a love of learning. There has been lots of opportunities for messy, creative play and exploring the natural world. Overall, these achievements have made a measurable positive difference to the children’s development, improved access and support for families, and strengthened community connections, contributing to the wider social and educational wellbeing of the local area. ## Additonal informaton (optonal) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
