believes children are born ready, able and eager to

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to the
circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a whole.		 Para 1.20 The preschool is staffed by an experienced and
well-qualified team. We operate with enhanced
ratios of staff to children to focus on individual
child development within the EYFS framework.
Children with developmental needs are
identified and supported at an early stage.
We offer a safe, fun and stimulating
environment in which children can learn through
play. Children have opportunities to grow
emotionally as well as physically, to develop
their communication and language skills, and to
increase their selfconfidence and self-
awareness.
At the beginning of the 2022/23 academic year
WPP increased its opening hours to allow an
afternoon session from 12-3pm. This was trialled
in the first term and it was quickly evident that it
was a success as it allowed parents to access
continuous childcare in the same setting from 9-
3pm in term time
A summary of our achievements are as follows: -
•
New and old parents continue to be active in
fundraising sessions and events such as the
family discos and fundraisers in the church
including a for the first time in several years
a summer fete
•
We have started to introduce additional
activities in our sessions provided by
external resources and plan to continue this
into the new term.
•
Operationally we introduce the nursery
management software Famly as well as the
finance software Xero which have both
improved the runningof the setting.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial
position at the end of the
period		 Para 1.21 Annual income from childcare increased to
£181,842 against comparable income of
£130,630 the previous year. Income rose due to
the increased hours offered compared to
previous years rather than funding rate
increases. However, costs increased
disproportionately to income, due to inflation
and the national living wage increase driving up
staff costs.
This resulted in a profit of £3,081 compared to a
surplus of £18,120 the previous year. The
Trustees therefore decided to increase fees for
paying parents by £1 per session and introduce a
paid snack contribution for all children from
September 2022. Nonetheless, the overall
financial position of the charity remains strong.
Cash balances at the yearend were £89,800.
Statement explaining the policy
for holding reserves stating why
they are held		 Para 1.22 The trustees aim to hold a minimum of £75,000
in reserves. Reserves are held to meet
unforeseen expenditure, losses due to
unexpected closures, to cover sudden
reductions in fee income due to changing
childcare requirements and to cover terminal
obligations if the preschool were to close
permanently.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 Reserves were £89,800 at theyear end,held in
savings accounts
Reasons for holding zero
reserves		 Para 1.22
Details of fund materially in
deficit		 Para 1.24
Explanation of any
uncertainties about the charity
continuing as a going concern		 Para 1.23 The charity remains well funded with ample
reserves to support the preschool.
The Government announcement of funded
places for all 2 year olds from April 24 is a source
of uncertainty as funding rates are not clear and
we are therefore unable to assess how many
places we can offer, whether we will lose
children from the setting if we cannot
accommodate the funded places and the
subsequent impact on our income.
There is a healthy waitlist which should mitigate
some of the above.
WPPS continues to feel the impact of increased
staffing costs and static government funding for
early years settings. We strive to attract and
retain the best early years practitioners and are
mindful of the issues currently faced in
recruitment within the Early years sector.

The charity’s principal sources
of funds (including any
fundraising)		 Para 1.47 The principal source of funds is from providing
childcare, paid for either by parents or local
authority funded early education schemes.
For the 22/23-year, funding made up 37% of
income, fees 60% and fundraising + other 3%.
The major outgoing was wages and staff costs
with 76% of expenditure being attributable to
this. Rent was 8% of expenditure.
Investment policy and
objectives including any social
investment policy adopted		 Para 1.46 Surplus funds not required for immediate
running costs are placed in interest-bearing
savings accounts.
A description of the principal
risks facing the charity		 Para 1.46 The charity’s main activity is operating
Wanstead Park Preschool. The principal
associated risks are:
•Loss of the current premises at St Gabriels
church hall; there are no suitable alternatives
nearby for permanent occupation.
•If the preschool were to lose its ‘good’ rating
from Ofsted, it would no longer have access to
the free childcare schemes,causinga significant

and sudden loss of revenue. • Large increases in staff costs due to increases in the National Living Wage, not matched by increases in childcare funding and fees. • Inability to recruit adequate qualified staff • Loss of income due to fewer children attending; preschool has a limited catchment area but relies on younger children continually replacing those leaving for school. There is the possibility of a private nursery opening in the near locality which would diminish our roll numbers. • A sudden and lengthy closure of preschool, due to damage to premises, health and safety issues, a pandemic, or other factors.
