Achievements and Performance SORP reference The aims of the pre-school, which are to enhance Ihe development and education of children through the provision of play, education and care facilities, were all achieved once more this year Ihrough supporting the children's individual needs, working with families and transitioning children lo school. Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the differen￿ the charily's work has made lo the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. Pala 1.20 Ashurst Pre-school continues lo be popular with local parents and carers and places are generally filled well in advance of attendance. The pre-school has continued to have high occupancy rates and maintains a waiting list for additional sessions and for new starters in the future. Addltional Infoymatlon (optional) You ma choose to include further statements where relevant about: Achievements againsl objectives set Pora 1.41 Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set Para 1.41 Investment performance against objectives Paia 1.41 Other Financial Review Review of Ihe charity's financial position at the end of the period Pafa 121 During the previous year and again this financial year the pre-school exceeded the income threshold that required it to maintain accruals accounts under FRS102. This yeaT we continued to see eligible parents taking up the 30 free childcare hours. Therefore, the majority of our fees are paid from the Government's funding. We have continued to have parenls paying top up fees for extra sessions or for Ihose who do not qualify for the 30 free hours however this is a lower level Ihan previous ears.

This year we were impacted Ihe significant inciease in the staff wages due to the rise in minimum wage and living wage. We have also had to regularly review our fees and increase accordingly. We continue to noticed the impact on the National Cost of Living crisis on all of our expenditure and have been reviewin our expenses. The pre-school seeks to maintain reserves, adequate to cover an appropriate contingency plan as set out below. A reserve for capital projects was largely exhausted through development of the site in the 2016-2017 year but is continuing to be rebuilt to allow future ca ital investment. Staff redundancy and 1 months wages - £30,000 Working capital reserves.. £30,000 Capital reseNes - £20,000 Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held Para 122 Amount of reseNes held P￿a 1.22 The financial aims of the pre-school are to remain above the working capital and staff redundancy reserve (required in the event of closure) of £60,000, except in ex￿ptiOnal times (such as during specific short-term investment). The pre-school accepts no financial risk and performs no investment activity. All reseNes are held in low risk, fixed return, cash accounts. 'CounGil funding is predominantly received at three specific poinls of the year but expenses are incurred throughout. At year end, cash balan￿S can be up to £30.000 higher than at their lowest point in the eriod. Reasons for holding zero reserves Details of fund materially in deficit Explanalion of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern Para 1.22 P￿4 1.24 NIA Para 1.23 As a committee we have been monitoring and observing the national increased cost of living. As a result of moniloring the impact of the increased costs we made the decision to change our bookkeeper. This was so we can keep more details on outgoings to closely monitor the budget. We are also continuing to plan to increase our fundraising opportunities over the next year. We are also aware the minimum wage and living wage is set to rise again in April and will be reviewing wages and fees in accordance with Ihese increases.

We continue to have high waiting lists and the support of the local authorities and Foxhill's schools who share Ihe campus. Operation of the pre-school is subjeGt to a strong regulatory environment in which it has performed well (being rated 'good' by OFSTED). The pre-school is located on land owned by the local authorities. The risk that the pre-school may not be a going concern is therefore considered very low and the Trustees are satisfied that the pre- school remains a oin concern.
