Objectives and Activities

Objectives and aims

Our main objective as set out in our constitution, is to encourage the education and development of children under statutory school age, by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through our pre-school.

Significant activities

To enhance developmental and educational needs of pre-school children, working in partnership with parents offering appropriate play, education and care facilities, ensuring opportunities for all children.

Our Pre-School, which opened in 1994, is operated as a non-profit making charity and run by fully qualified staff, with a voluntary committee. We offer education and care for children from the age of 2 years until they leave to start primary school as a rising 5 year old. We are registered with Ofsted as a day care provider to care for a maximum of 21 children.

Our small pre-school offers high quality childcare in a lovely location very close to White Rock Primary School, and next to a very child friendly park which we make regular use of.

We pride ourselves on creating a cheerful, caring atmosphere for our children, and we have a high staff to child ratio to ensure individual care and attention. Our well qualified staff look at the next steps required for every child to develop to their full potential, by the use of regular observation and assessment of each child as defined by the EYFS.

Achievements and Performance

Main achievements

We have continued to develop firm relationships with our parents inviting them to events that the children participate in and providing them with opportunities to attend the pre-school during sessions. We continue to utilise various opportunities for fundraising and have various successful fundraising events throughout the year. Raising in the region of £1,500, which is directly reinvested and used to upgrade or replace equipment and resources.

We have continued to provide outstanding quality care and education to the children in our care as highlighted in our recent Ofsted inspection in May 2024.

Financial Review

Reserves policy

Reserves are held to secure staff payments in relation to redundancy. Any proceeds carried forward are reinvested and used to replace and upgrade equipment and resources.

Respective responsibities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are reponsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charity Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiners statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiners statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention

1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act

have not been met. Or

2) to which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
