| Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) |
The pre-school aims to enhance the development and education of children under school age in a parent involving community based group, within a safe and stimulating environment. |
|---|---|
| The pre-school recognises that the whole child is important; that social, emotional, intellectual and moral development are all interlinked, and that learning cannot be compartmentalised under subject headings. Self- motivation is encouraged, as are independence, and self-discipline, leaning through example set by peers and adults. The child’s education is seen as an interaction between child and the environment, which includes people as well as materials and knowledge. Within the group all children are supported in developing their potential at their own pace by means of appropriate play activities and a high level of adult output.. We offer learning experiences leading to nationally approved learning outcomes and prepare children to progress to the national curriculum at the age of age. We are proud of the high ratio of adults to children in our group. This ensures individual attention to the needs and development of each child. Research has shown that children learn better when their parents are involved, therefore we operate a parent rota which involves parents helping in group on a regular basis, giving parents the opportunity to take an active part in the group whist also allowing the children to see their parents/carers in a new role. The committee members have had due regard to the guidance of public benefit as issued by the Charity Commission when exercising any powers/duties. |
