WOOLTON HILL PRE-SCHOOL
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing Document
The charity is controlled by constitution.
Organisational Structure
The trustees form the management team, with the day to day operations led by the pre-school manager.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Woolton Hill Pre-School is primarily for children 2 to 4 years in Woolton Hill, and also offers a breakfast club for children up to 8 years old. The pre-school offers a friendly and warm environment encouraging children to learn through play using the Early Years Foundation Stage. We offer flexible term-time hours and are located in the Church Hall, which provides a safe, spacious environment in the centre of the village, adjacent to the village infant school, St Thomas'.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Having had to re-locate for most of the last academic year, we were glad to finally be able to return to the church hall during the Autumn term. Staff and children were very pleased to be back in their original space. Settling the children back in whilst re-setting all of the resources and equipment was a task admirably handled by the staff team. We were happily able to resume our annual programme of activities such as the Christmas nativity, an Easter egg hunt and summer Sports Day. We have been faced with lower occupancy of pre-school places, due to a variety of factors, including low birth rates and our term-time hours not being compatible with what many families now require. Staff have made efforts to increase numbers, to reduce staffing hours wherever possible and to make other savings. As we head into the 2024-25 year, we are all keenly aware of trying to ensure the pre-school’s viability for the future, but with rising rent and staffing costs, we are monitoring the situation closely.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The committee have reviewed the guidance on setting a financial reserves policy (from CC19) & consider the following level of reserves to be prudent for the organisation at the current time:
One term’s running costs £25 – 30,000 Winding up costs (redundancy etc) £10 - £15,000 Total reserves required £35 – 45,000
To ensure the reserves are maintained a separate deposit account has been set up. Should the level of reserves rise above the amount indicated within this policy, the additional money and
any interest that has been earned will be used to benefit the pre-school and the service that it offers to the parents and children.
