Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 This has been another year where the
preschool has continued to grow and
flourish, with record numbers of children in
attendance and a waiting list for 2 year old
places.
We have also been able to build-on our
fundraising efforts this year, including
supporting the return of the Old Time Music
Hall event (a much-loved village event!),
the Christmas performance, Sports Day,
the village fete and our end of years
Leaver’s picnic to celebrate those children
moving on to Infant School.
2022-2023 also saw the return of our Pub
Quiz event- a hugely popular night which
provided fun for the wider community whilst
raising valuable funds for the preschool.
We also ran our annual Easter Egg trail for
the village community and raised a record-
breaking total from this.

date, including paediatric first aid
training, SenCO level 3 and

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period		 Para 1.21 Funding income from Bucks County
Council was higher this year than last year
due to an increase in fee contribution per
child plus an increase in the number of
children attending the pre-school.
 Overall, the Pre-School recorded losses
of£2104
.These loses are less than
previous years. The introduction of a
consumables charge have helped to
mitigate the increasing costs.
 Accounts are healthy and the Pre School
should benefit from fundraising activities
recommencing this academic year. The
number of children on roll is also rising
which will increase the income from fees
and donations.

policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 The charity’s policy is to maintain the
