Section D                      Achievements and performance 

**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

We have a disabled accessible toilet and have a specific area for children with additional/SEN needs as we are finding a larger percentage of children attending who go on to specialist school. We have had a significant higher number of SEN/EAL children this year with EHCP that we have applied for, ILPP’s, Wellcomms etc Most children are achieving to age-appropriate levels working to the Early Years Outcomes with a few exceeding their goals. We also support children with development delay, additional needs, learning difficulties and children with English as additional language working with many outside agencies. We have separate provision for our 2-year-olds. We have an area designed specifically for them called Bumblebee’s 12 x 2-year-olds per session. 21 x 3- & 4-year-olds called ladybirds per session. 

We have on-going maintenance of a very old building within an area of conservation – continual decorating and maintaining. We have had a new kitchen and raised floor to mitigate the flooding some more windows replaced with UPVC. We have had a big restructure of our resources both inside and out introducing more natural materials.

## **Section E                    Financial review** 

**Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** 

**Details of any funds materially in deficit** 

The objective is to retain £10,000.00 in reserves as a wage cushion which we have managed this year. 


## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** 

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: 

- the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); 

- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; 

- investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. 

We are currently working towards the revised Early years foundation stage (EYFS) curriculum. We aim to promote a well-balanced education within an emotionally and physically secure environment. We no longer have a waiting list and are still working within DFE and government guidelines.  Our main source of income is 2- & 3-year-old government funding. All 3-year-olds are eligible. 2-year-old funding is now accessible for families who fit the criteria. Both 2- & 3-year-old funding allows the child 15/30 hours free of charge. We do also have families who pay or pay for extra hours above their 15. There is also the new 15 hours extended entitlement for parents working above 16 hours for 2 and 3- & 4-year-olds now which is proving successful. Our government funding is paid monthly and is our main source of income. 

- Our premises are very old and takes a lot of heating, maintaining and cleaning
