**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 provides flexible (3 hour, 5 hour or full day) educational sessions for children aged 2 yrs 6 months to 5 yrs old, during normal school term time. We believe in helping young children develop into confident individuals by providing a wide range of practical and fun activities to inspire them to investigate, explore, learn and have fun. 

We have also organised several fundraising events, such as a Sponsored mini olympics, raffle and number square.  These events and other activities throughout the year, help us to raise money for new resources at Bubbles.

The Pre-School has provided high quality early education and child care **Summary of the main** for children aged 2 yrs 6 months to 5 yrs old, over a period of 38 weeks, **achievements of the charity** during normal school term time. **during the year** We have supported the training and development of staff members to enhance their knowledge and understanding and so improve the service we can offer the families we work with. 

We have worked hard to improve communication with our families, believing that building strong bonds between Bubbles and home significantly improves the quality of service we provide for both our children and their families.  We now have an active facebook closed group, and all our families are linked to us via our on line learning journal, Tapestry. 

This year we extended our Special Educational Needs and Disabilities provision (SEND), by offering additional places to children with SEND. Extra training for staff, working with other professionals and taking on extra support staff helped us to succeed in this new challenge. 

We remained open during the second lockdown, when all other schools were closed.  Incredible efforts were made to keep staff and children safe during the height of the second wave of the Coronavirus pandemic.  No positive cases of Covid-19 were identified within our staff and children, allowing us to stay open throughout the whole year. Fundraising efforts enabled us to purchase a new admin laptop, new outdoor resources as well as providing fresh and exciting activities throughout the year.

Our main income comes from the Nursery Education Funding provided by the government for all 3 and 4 year olds. We also receive funding for some 2 year old children on our roll. The next main source of income is fees paid by parents for any non-funded sessions. 

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about:

The committee and staff also work hard fundraising throughout the year to help supplement this income so we can provide the best service possible to our children and their families.

In the Autumn ethical investment policy term, we received funding based on last year’s numbers rather than our adopted. actual role, which also supported us financially.
