The trustees are satisfied that the activities of the charity satisfy the requirements of the Charity Commission public benefit test.
We follow the constitution of Early Years Alliance and their policies and procedures.
We offer a high quality provision for Early Years Children between the ages of 18 months and 5 years. We follow the guidelines of the The Early Years Foundation Stage and Ofsted and other governing bodies such as Essex County Council.
Our day to day business is run by our Practise Manager and the parents committee is made of parents of children attending the pre-school.
Our ethos is for all children to be able to receive and enjoy the experience of all types of different activities and objectives. A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in its own right, and it provides the foundation for children to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up.
We have been able to support families and children to develop and regain confidence that followed the past years disruption and build on making friends and working with their peers to carry on into primary school.
In our financial review, all funds are allocated for the running of the pre-school and the needs of the children. Any reserve funds in our Business Saving Account if for any contingence that is out of our control and extra funds are needed to carry on.
The accounts are showing a deficit for the year, which does not reflect the early payment from Essex County Council appearing in the year before financial year. Changes in regulations from Ofsted has led to high re-training cost for all staff to bring the pre-school up to date with statutory requirements.
Reserves at 31st August 2022 of £27,015.67 is around 5 months running costs.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Burnham Pre-School Playgroup (the Trust) for the year ended 31[st] August 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
