Financial Review

Reserves are kept in a separate account to the normal daily Current account. This has enough money in to cover in the case of redundancies. Money is regularly transferred to keep the amount needed correct and not to be used for other purposes. We have a Reserves Policy in place.
Most income is received from Nursery Education Funding from the local authority. At times we have additional funding to support children with SEN or DAF needs.
We received additional money from the Local Authority for children entitled to Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP). This money is spent on equipment, activities, training etc to enhance their learning. Yearly Budgets set and checked regularly.
No financial concerns to report.
We had more funded children, more children were entitled to EYPP (Early Years Pupil Premium) Higher wages due to staff recruitment.
Higher Rental Charges.
