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 one child in receipt on EYPP this year. We had a few fee paying children for only a short time at Pre-School until they became eligible for 'Working Parent Funding'.

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.

7 Declaration

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees' report above.

CHARITY NUMBER: 1029571

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025

This year has been exceptionally busy for us, with the introduction of funding for eligible children from 9 months old. Our Wraparound care has also been full to capacity across most sessions and a waiting list has been introduced. Staff wages rose by a significant amount in line with the National Living Wage increase.

The cost of living is reflected in our rising food, resources and utility costs, as well as a small rent increase and the majority of services now requiring a subscription fee, whereas they have been free to access in previous years.

Overall, the business is very well accessed and we have a healthy reserve fund.
