Financial Review Review of the charity's financial position at the end of the period Para 1.21 202212023 has been a busy year at Preschool with some of our sessions almost full. Following our decision in 2022 to offer the new 30 hour funding for eligible working families, we attracted more families in the lo¢al area, who generally attended for more hours, as their hours were funded. Our afternoon sessions. which had previously suffered with low attendance, are now a lot busier. Our income has therefore increased significantly, as has our expenditure as staff costs have increased due to the increase in NLW and also staffing the busier sessions. statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held Para 1.22 Holmes Chapel Community Preschool keeps some reserves which aro designated as follows: to cover staff redundancy pay to contributs to the costs to repairlreplace Our Current preschool building when the need arises.
