Para 1.20 | The Charity Launched in July 2021 and started trading as a childcare provider in September 2021. The area in which the charity trades in is an area of deprivation on the WDI and many parents rely on affordable childcare to be able to return to work or training. The Charity launched in the middle of the Covid pandemic and many parents were not in a position to take advantage of out of school childcare, however the trustees have worked hard to start making the charity sustainable. All children in the local area are welcome to attend the childcare club and do not need to attend the school the club is linked to. It is a fully inclusive childcare club with permission to use the to the schools wheelchair access and facilities. The children have a safe environment to play with other children and to start to rebuild their social interactions after covid. The Charity has close links with the school it is linked to and regularly work together to build the afterschool provision. The main ethos of the Charity is to provide experiences for the children that they would not necessarily have at home such as dance lessons, Tae Kwondo, Gymnastics and Bush Skills. |
