STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Charity is an Association governed by its Constitution and was formed on 12[th] October 1990. In the event of the Charity being wound up any funds or equipment, remaining after all debts have been repaid, shall be handed to the Early Years Alliance or any similar charity associated with the education of pre-school children in the geographical area of the Charity.

The Trustees, Officers and Committee Members of the Charity are elected by the members at the AGM for a period of one year. There is a child protection policy in place and disclosure and barring checks are carried out prior to commencement of employment.

The Charity is a member of the Early Years Alliance and is partnered with Thrumpton Primary Academy from whom rooms are rented.

All Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration or other benefits.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The aim of the Charity is to advance the education of children below compulsory school age by:

Providing safe and satisfying group play in which parents have the right to take part
Encouraging other charitable activities through which parents may help the children
Instigating and adhering to the aims of the Early Years Alliance

The Charity offers appropriate play, education, care facilities and training courses, together with the right of parents to take responsibility for and become involved in the activities of the group. In setting the Charity’s objectives and planning of activities, the Trustees give serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit, specifically towards the advancement of education to children under school age.

Any surplus funds which are not likely to be needed to pay for activities are placed on deposit to earn interest.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

After another successful year demand for places became high after a slower start in September 2024 and we continue to look to enhance the outcomes for our children and their families. After an Ofsted inspection in April 2025, we were delighted to receive a ‘Good’ rating. The Manager works closely with all staff encouraging them to provide a stimulating and fun environment for children to learn. We offer an open-door policy to all parents, so they can come and discuss any problems or concerns they may have at any time. Children attending the setting are encouraged to explore from the secure presence of their key person, they are given the opportunity to make choices and are praised for their individual achievements. We constantly look at ways to improve activities, and all staff contribute ideas and take the lead when they have attended courses, cascading information to everyone.

All staff understand the importance of safeguarding and have the knowledge of what to look for and who to contact should the need arise. All preschool staff are trained in Paediatric First Aid, Safeguarding and Level 2 Food Hygiene and can easily access online training on the NoodleNow training platform.

We believe we offer good quality childcare at Thrumpton Kids Club, the progress of all the children with their learning and development is paramount from the day they start until they leave. We care about all the children who attend, and support parents where possible. Parents are happy to recommend our group to others.

LOOKING AHEAD

Our future plans are financed primarily from fee income and from our reserves. Committee Members need to maintain an equitable balance ensuring our current pupils benefit whilst, at the same time, ensuring a sound infrastructure and financial base. We will continue to work closely with our host school, ensuring the positive contribution to our shared educational aims continue. We will strive to provide high quality, affordable childcare for parents in our area.
