Equal Opportunities
Little Cubs welcomes children from all backgrounds. A child’s gender, ethnicity, race, religion or disability do not form part of our admission processes. We are an equal opportunity organisation and are committed to a working environment that is free from any form of discrimination on the grounds of colour, race, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation or disability. We will make reasonable adjustments to meet the needs of staff or pupils who are or become disabled. Little Cubs is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our pupils and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
Review of Activities and Achievements
Numbers of children attending setting have dropped. This year has been a very disruptive year with the periods of lockdown. This has unfortunately had a negative impact on the numbers in the setting. When the school shut parents stopped using Little Cubs.
Zoom calls took place regularly with staff reading stories and doing on-line activities with children and their families.
Staff used these periods of time to improve their knowledge and skills. A wide range of courses were accessed. These include, Child Protection training, First
Aid, Makaton, ELKLAN, Yoga for Literacy, supporting children with Additional Learning Needs and Jabadao.
Links have been strengthened with families through ‘Chatterbox’ sessions where parents and children join together to share stories, songs, nursery rhymes etc.
The setting has carried out work on healthy eating and lifestyles and is working towards the Healthy and Sustainable Pre School Scheme National Award and Tiny Tums Award.
Our Finances
The financial statements show net income of £60,696 for the year April 2020 until March 31[st] 2021 and expenditure was £47,453.50
