## **Hellesdon Community Preschool** ## **Our Vision** **“With the support of our families and our community, we aim to put children at the heart of everything we do, and to prepare all of our children to achieve positive outcomes and learn practical life skills through play and well-informed adult guidance.”** ## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31[st] August 2025** The trustees present their report with financial statements of the charity for the year ending 31[st] August 2025. The trustees are currently made up of staff, parents, and local school staff. Termly trustee meetings are held with the preschool manager to discuss a wide range of agenda items, including budgets, fundraising, safeguarding, staffing, and any other relevant agenda items. The setting has adopted the Early Years alliance policies. We work closely with the Early Years Team and Norfolk County Council, and other professionals, to support each child’s individual needs. We have a close relationship with our main feeder school and have an excellent, well planned transition schedule. ## **Objectives and Aims** To provide a child-friendly environment that is safe, secure, caring and stimulating. To enhance the development and education of children through play. ## **We collaborate with parents and carers to offer an excellent quality service based on each child’s individual needs.** ## **Public Benefit** The preschool is open to all children from 2 years to 9 months old. Without any catchment area, nationality, religious or other restrictions, until they can enter infant school. Early years funding is available from when the children start at the preschool, until they can enter reception class at the infant school. We are a large preschool located within Kinsale Infant School. We rent two classrooms from the school which have been knocked through to make one large room. We have a large outside area with a mud kitchen, under cover canopy and an area that provides children with elements of a forest school. We offer free flow play for most of the session. Hellesdon Community Preschool is open Monday to Friday, term time only. We offer 2-year-old funded places, 3-4-year-old funded places and the 30-hour entitlement. We offer flexibility to parents by being open from 8.30am to 4.00pm. Our current fees are £18.00 for a three-hour session. Children may join the preschool once they are 2 years and 9 months old. We hold regular fundraising events throughout the year to raise money towards the running of the setting and purchasing added resources. ## **Achievement and Performance – Charitable activity** We have an Ofsted grading of “Good,” and the staff and trustees are working hard to ensure that we maintain our standards and provide high quality childcare. We support children who are in receipt of Early Years Pupil Premium. We work closely with parents/carers to offer support in the home environment. We work hard to ensure that individual children make progress throughout the year. The staff team access high quality training which is then cascaded back to the setting to enable all staff to make improvements. The setting currently has one member of staff with a Bachelor’s degree with Honours at level 6, in Early Childhood and Education, integrated working with families, and is currently working towards a master’s degree in psychology. One staff member is a level 4 in Early Years Childhood and Education, integrated working with families. Six staff members at level 3 Early Years Education, one with a Degree in Healthcare and Play Specialism and two staff members at level 2 Early Years Education. We offer home visits to ensure that Early Years Educators gain knowledge regarding different family cultures, practices, and history, as we recognise and value that all families are different. A home visit is a lovely opportunity for the relationship to form between a child, parent, and their key person. Our sensory room and literacy area are a great asset to our setting and is thoroughly enjoyed by the children. ## **Future plans** We are still in the process of enquiring about having a new pathway and new wet pour for the outdoor area, we may be able to source some funds for this once we have got some quotes, which we are in the process of doing. We have been lucky enough to fundraise for some woodchip for our larger garden area and have had some donated We are continuing with the forest school approach and have adapted our mud garden to incorporate a vegetable patch which is flourishing, and providing a lot of enjoyment for the children. We use ‘Tapestry’ to record children’s progress and share this with parents; this can be transferable to the receiving infant school provided parents agree. We have a good relationship with Kinsale Infant School and are continuing to improve our transition process. ## **Fundraising** We have been able to replace some of our unreliable garden and small world resources. We have been able to purchase some mats for our sensory room and for our quiet area in line with the safer sleep requirements. The children have appeared to enjoy the new sensory mirrors, dolls, small world animals and insects that we have been able to purchase. The garden is now enhanced with a new larger sandpit for the children to explore, with added resources for digging and pouring. New water play resources have been added to our sensory water tray. The vegetable garden is flourishing with new soil in the vegetable patch along with seeds and vegetable plants. We have put up some sensory items inside and outside of the setting to create a calming environment for those children that need to regulate. We have been able to replace the administration laptop as the old one was not able to update. Our fundraising events have been highly successful. We have introduced a Christmas fair which has allowed us to spend time with new children and their families in readiness for our January intake. We are incredibly grateful for our parent’s generosity. We thank the parent’s staff and the trustees for all their support.
