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.
