Year Ending: 31 August 2020

Company activities and impact

Bright Stars pre-school has provided sessional childcare and education for over 450 children since opening in 2009. This past year we have noted an increase in the number of funded two year olds and children who are eligible for early years pupil premium. This indicates that we are in a prime position to support those children who are considered to be at a financial disadvantage. We continue to offer 30 hours of free (funded) childcare which is free at point of contact as no consumable charges have been made to parents, reducing financial barriers in getting parents into paid employment. We are fortunate to manage staff ratios that exceed minimum OFSTED requirements which facilitates better support for those children who need it. We continueto work with the school where we are based to ensure cohesive care and education and to aid smooth transition for children who join the school at age four years. We also maintain relationships with other schools that we feed into to support the children that go to them. Bright Stars pre-school also liaises closely with the local family and children’s wellbeing hub, undertaking integrated two-year reviews and team around the family meetings, providing workshops for our parents around toilet training, behaviour concerns etc. We also sign post parents to the sessions that the family hub run for families in the local area. The pre-school also employs seven local people and also offers work placements for local students undertaking childcare courses or students from the local secondary school

Consultation with stakeholders

Due to demand for spaces, following public consultation, we continue to offer 10 sessions each week, opening from 9:00am-3:00pm every day.We are liaising closely with Ongar Primary School, Brambles children’s and family wellbeing hub and parents and families of children in the local community. We send out regular questionnaires to the parents of the children attending to gain feedback with regards to our service. After collating the information, we then take action on points raised and feed back to parents. We are pleased to report that feedback is positive and all sessions continue to be operating at full capacity due to popularity. The company will continue to listen to and consider the needs of the stakeholders from the local community.

Directors' remuneration

During the financial year, the director received a salary of £19,553 inclusive of employers' national insurance contributions.
