Beansheaf Community Pre-School is open for 9 sessions a week due to the high demand for spaces. Each session is 2.5 hours long but children are welcome to take 2 sessions in a row with a lunch club included which allows children to receive continuous care from 9.20am to 2.30pm on all days except a Wednesday. The all day sessions provide a greater flexibility for parents who may wish to work, and also introduces children gently to the type of day they will experience once they start full time education. The lunch club is also available to children who only attend a morning session but who may wish to stay and have lunch with their friends. A breakfast club operates everyday for 30 minutes before Pre-School begins which gives parents the flexibility to drop children off at 08:50am for a small charge. Children are provided with a choice of breakfasts and they also have access to all the Pre-School’s toys and equipment, the breakfast club has proved very popular particularly with parents who are going on to work. The Pre-Schools aim is to educate children entirely through play in a safe and caring environment. Children are free to choose which activities they do each session, these include playing on the climbing frame, dressing up, role play, painting, playing with play dough and a number of arts and crafts activities that go on each day. Children have access to a laptop allowing them to learn computer skills and play educational games, they also have access to an interactive white board which provides them with the same learning opportunities as those 3 year olds attending state funded nurseries. The preschool has its own private park and all children are encouraged to go outdoors at least once during each Pre-School session, the children not only have toys and games to play with outside but also have the opportunity to get their hands dirty learning about nature and planting flowers and vegetables. In the summer months a larger percentage of time is spent outdoors. Group time takes place each session, where the children are encouraged to join in singing songs, learning the days of the week, months of the year and to discuss the environment around them. Children are encouraged to play together, to learn about sharing and about helping one another. The Pre-School is open to all children from the ages of 2 to 5 years old. 3 year olds are funded for 15 hours a week by the government from the term following their third birthday until they reach school age. 2 year olds from disadvantaged families may also be eligible for government funding for a maximum of 15 hours a week. The Pre-School serves the whole community, it has children from all different financial and ethnic backgrounds, it provides access to toys and equipment that some children may not otherwise have the opportunity to enjoy, and it allows parents free time to spend with younger siblings who may not otherwise benefit from one to one interaction.

Section E Financial review

Brief statement of the

charity’s policy on reserves

We hold cash at bank of £30,062, Petty Cash £97.00 plus savings of £30,020, all of which is unrestricted funds. These funds are held in order to meet any unforeseen expenditure that may occur, or if funding from West Berkshire Council was to decrease due to child numbers falling.

This was one of the terms agreed with West Berkshire Council when they provided the grant to build the park

Details of any funds materially in deficit

Not Applicable

Further financial review details (Optional information)

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:

Our main sources of funds are received from West Berkshire Council who provide us with government funding for 3 and 4 year olds at the PreSchool, for a maximum of 15 hours a week, 38 weeks a year. We also receive funding for disadvantaged 2 year olds for a maximum of 15 hours a week, this funding has been offered to families who meet certain criteria, who are usually referred to the Pre-School through health visitors and who would otherwise not have been able to send their children to Pre-School.

All parents are asked for a voluntary contribution of £10 at the start of each of the three terms, Autumn, Spring and Summer. Lunch club and breakfast clubs are both charged at £2.50 per session.
