Financial Review Review of the charity's financial position at the end of the period Para 1.21 202312024 has been a busy year at Preschool. We previously offered 30 hour funded places for 3 and 4 year olds and we now also offer places for 2 year olds who are eligible for the new 15 hour working family funding, which was introduced in April 2024. A lot of our income is now through the above funding. The advantage of these funded hours is that the afternoons are generally busier as children are generally doing more hours. Our income has slightly increased from the previous year and our expenditure remains similar.
