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 At Oatlands Pre-School we are proud to have
continued to deliver a very high standard of
early years education to our children, providing
a safe and engaging learning environment, and
helping to prepare them for their formal
educational journey at infant school. This has
been recognised through our granting of a
Good Ofsted rating again in July 2024.
We are pleased to have continued to retain and
develop our highly experienced staff. This
allows us to provide a level of care and
commitment for our children which we believe
is not achievable within many commercially run
settings.

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period		 Para 1.21 The pre-school has made a financial loss in the
financial year, due to increasing pressure from
increasing costs, funding requirements and a
lower than usual registrations in this particular
year.
Since the end of the financial year in August
2025, the pre-school has secured council grant
funding to safeguard existing places and
extended it’s opening hours to 9am-2:30pm
everyday. These changes have enhanced the
offering to local families and we are seeing
increased registrations this year.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 Reserves are held to enable the charity to meet
its financial obligations through holding working
capital as well as to provide a period of financial
stability in the event that an excess of
expenditure over income arises. The trustees
consider this good governance in regard to the
charity’s responsibility to the parents and
children it provides services to.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 £12,202 (NatWest Business Reserve Account
