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.
