## **2 Structure, Governance and Management**
As a member of the Pre-School Learning Alliance, the Pre-school is governed in accordance with the Pre-School Learning Alliance Model Consitution which was adopted on 30 September 2011
In accordance with this Constitution, the Pre-School is an unincorporated charity whose members comprise parents or guardians of children who attend the Pre-school.
Trustees are appointed or reappointed annually at the Annual General Meeting held in April. All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration or other benefits.
## **3 Objectives and Activities**
The primary objective of the Pre-School is to enhance the development and education of children between the ages of two and statutory school age by offering appropriate play, education and care facilities.
In pursuing this objective, the Pre-School ensures that opportunities are accessible to all children within the stated age group regardless of their race, culture, means or ability.
Furthermore, the Pre-School seeks to actively promote and develop links with external groups including, but not limited to, the local primary school.
## **4 Summary of Main Achievements**
During the year, the Pre-School continued its focus on providing a high quality play and learning environment for all children attending the setting. The vast majority of children access Early Years Funding, either 30 or 15 hours per week, and towards the end of the academic year some received 2 year old funding. We had no children in receipt on EYPP this year. We had some fee paying children for a short time at Pre-School until the funding system changed and 2 year olds became eligible for 'Working Parent Funding' in April 2024.
Great use has been made of the outdoor play equipment at the village park, the green spaces around the village and we have also been given access to a neighbour's paddock. We have used the footpath in the church grounds for balance bikes and made use of the new basketball court at the local playing fields.
## **5 Public Benefit Statement**
In conducting the Pre-School's affairs for the year, the trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard for the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
## **6 Financial Review**
The performance and results for the year are detailed in the attached accounts.
During the year covered by this report, there was no formal reserves policy in place at the Pre-School. There were no funds in deficit during the year.

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024**
This year started off quiet once again however, as soon as the new funding was introduced for 2 year olds, we had an influx of children starting with us. Our Wraparound care has also been very busy and most sessions were running at full capacity towards the end of the school year. Staff wages rose by a significant amount in line with the National Living Wage increase. The cost of living crisis is reflected in our rising food, resources and utility costs. The increase in demand for sessions helped turnover and we managed to recoup our losses from last year, plus a small profit.
