achievements
ofthe charity
during the year|The preschool
had a tumultuous
academic year with an 'unsatisfactory'
Qfsted rating
in October. This was tumed around
very quickly,
with
targeted
interventions
by the committee
and management
team and the
setting achieved a rating of'Good* in March 2022. The preschool| |---|---|---| |||remained
in a healthy
financial
position and ail children
remained
on the| |||roster throughout
this period.| |||Due to ongoing
staffing and recruitment
issues the decision was taken to| |||merge Happy Days with Nettiebed
School, next door. Following a council| |||led consultation
period the preschool ceased to operate as aseparate
entity as ofAug 31st2022 and closed. Early years education
is now| |||provided
by Nettlebed

School.| |Briefstatement ofthe charity's
policy on reserves||General Reserve —The purpose
ofthe organisation
is to provide
Preschool
learning to children. The funding comes from the Local
Education
Authority
in the form ofthe Nursery
Education Grant and also| |||from fees for attendees.
Changes
in government
policy can significantly| |||influence the levels offees and grants that the Preschool receives. The| |||primary expense incurred
by the organisation
is staff salaries.| |||The level offees can vary depending
on the number
ofattendees
in any| |||term, but a reduction
in attendees does not necessarily
result in an| |||equivalent
reduction
in staff or other costs.| |||As a result the Trustees feel it is prudent to maintain a general reserve so| |||as to secure the continued
operation ofthe organisation
should there be a| |||material
reduction
in fees or other unforeseen
expenditure
in future| |||periods. The Preschool holds 6months
full running
costs in general| |||reserve.| |Details ofany funds materially||| |in deficit||| |Further financial|review details|(Optional information)|
