Briefstatement charity*s policy	ofthe on reserves	General Reserve —The purpose ofthe organisation isto provide pre- school learning to children. Funding comes from the Local Authority in the form ofa Nursery Education Grant and also from fees from non-
		funded attendees. Changes in government pohcy can significantly influence the levels offees and grants that the preschool receives. The
		primary expense incurred by the Organisation is staff salaries.
		The level of NEG grant and fees income can vary depending on the number ofattendees in any term, but a reduction in attendees does not
		necessarily result in an equivalent reduction is staffing or other costs.
		As a result, the Trustees feel it is prudent to maintain a general reserve so as to secure the continued operation ofthe organisation should there be a material reduction in fees, orother unforeseen expenditure in future periods. The Pre-School holds a minimum of3months full running costs and redundancy entitlement in general reserve.
