Objectives
To enhance the development and education of children in Wales, for the public benefit, encouraging parents to understand and provide for their needs through high quality childcare provision.
To provide a service to parents to allow them to work whilst the children are provided with a safe and fun environment.
To provide fun activities and engaging play for the children.
Ensuring our work delivers our aims.
Each year we complete a quality survey with our staff, children, and parents.
We review our activities for the year and plan for the next 12 months activities and make any changes highlighted by the survey.
The focus of our work passed March 23 / Going forward from April 23
The focus for the year was to keep the club running smoothly and ensure the well-being of the children and staff in a safe environment.
Activities
Throughout the year we have provided safe and great opportunities of learning indoors and outdoors, some of which are children led, where their imagination and skills come into place and staff planning and sharing ideas in staff meetings.
Plans for the future
We have been working hard to promote the afterschool club to the new families joining the school and extending the holiday club weeks to the wider community. This has helped the club to succeed in gaining more children attending the facility, by keeping us financially sustainable. While helping parents who are struggling with childcare issues
Financial Review
This year we have still had to use some of our reserves and have applied for grants to sustain the club, but the numbers attending are finally returning to pre covid levels, so we hope to operate in a profit next year.
We are reviewing the club numbers and opening times, we have altered the way holiday club runs and we will only open on the financially viable days.
Principal funding sources
The principal funding general sales is via parents’ payments…£20,581.80. And we have manged to apply for grants from Early years Wales £500 February 2023 and FFC £2500 March 2023 and £319.90.

The club reserves £5902 towards redundancies if the club must close.
