Section D Achievements and erformance p
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
This academic year has been very busy. The staff have worked hard to continue to produce a high standard of care and education to all our children. We have re-introduced stay and play sessions for parents to attend. This helps us to build relationships with the whole family and has been well received. With the village building a new Parish Centre behind our building the children have enjoyed seeing the different vehicles and the work that has been going on. We aim to use these as opportunities to educate and engage with the children as well as the community around us.
Our SEN provision continues to be strong and our Designated Person ensures that all staff are well briefed and trained so that everyone is fully involved in meeting the needs of those children who need extra support.
It was another successful year with the transition of the older children to the local Primary School.
We have had a fantastic fundraising team who worked hard all year to come up with different ideas. There were numerous raffles, craft kits for families to buy as well as our usual Yard Sale and Welly Walk which were very successful. We have used some of this money to buy some next furniture for the main area at preschool.
