We continue to monitor Childrens’ needs and training for staff as required. The ongoing recording system for tracking children’s progress has ensured that all children have made excellent progress within the EYFS. Our hope is that this will continue to improve the outcomes for the children and their families who attend our setting. Fundraising events were held to aid purchase of equipment and resources. As expected, we recorded a small profit, in view of the groups’ strong financial position, we remain a sound, sustainable setting. **TAR** March **2012** 4 ## **Section E Financial review** **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** As per our reserves policy, the level of reserves for this period was increased to £27,265.00 to reflect change to our redundancy obligations. This amount allows for redundancy payments for eligible staff and leaves resources for any additional expenditure occurring as a result of unexpected closure. This fund is to be maintained in a savings account. The reserves will be reviewed annually ahead of each academic year. **Details of any funds materially in deficit** ## **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. ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s) Full name(s) Position (eg Secretary, Chair Date** **TAR** March **2012** 5 |**CC16a**
