The objective of the charity is to provide high quality early years education and childcare for local children between the ages of 2 to 4 years old.

learning.

Learning is encouraged through play and activities which are designed and planned around the children’s interests, aiming to support and extend their learning. Guidance on determining and planning these activities are taken from the relevant professional frameworks and are recorded using our online platform, Tapestry. Play and activities are designed to develop numeracy, literacy, social and motor skills as set out in the curriculum. Activities can take the form of baking, planting seeds, puzzles, stories and song time to watching development of caterpillars and tadpoles to one to one numeracy lessons and outdoor play on our varied equipment including balance bikes, a mud kitchen and climbing equipment. To compliment and leverage the benefit of our various activities, each Summary of the main activities child is assigned a key worker who is responsible for their care, mental, undertaken for the public health and development, which is recorded in our Tapestry portal. benefit in relation to these Tapestry is available to parents enabling them to be kept informed with the objects (include within this activities, behaviour and achievements of their child, alongside section the statutory assessments and an annual report. declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance The preschool has numerous policies and procedures in place that are issued by the Charity compliant with the Statutory Framework for The Early Years Foundation Commission on public benefit) Stage. Inductions on these policies and procedures are given to any new staff members when employment commences. Broughton preschool supports the local public by providing excellent quality ‘competitively priced’ childcare and education as it does not cap nor discriminate against the number of government funded children who attend, despite the financial implications of this. To enable the charity to operate as a going concern and keep fees low, several varied fundraising events are run by the committee and volunteers on an annual basis. To this extent, the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

As with many charities, the current economic climate and the continued rise in the cost of living have placed significant financial pressure on the Pre-School.

Despite these challenges, income increased by £38,000 during the year, primarily due to a rise in donations and external funding. This additional support was vital in helping the Pre-School manage increased operating costs.

Expenditure was down by £18,000 compared to the previous year. This is largely due to the prior year including a one-off capital expense of £23,000 for essential repairs to the outdoor decking area, which significantly affected the financial comparison year-on-year. Total income for the year was £128,000, while total expenditure was £96,000, leaving a positive balance of £32,000. Given the continued rise in costs and staff wages—without a corresponding uplift in the early years funding rate—this year's financial result still reflects a steady and positive outcome. It is a testament to the hard work of our fundraising team and the generosity of parents and the local community. Without their ongoing support and commitment, the Pre-School would not be able to continue operating as a going concern.

This highlights our ongoing commitment to professional development and our contribution to the wider local community. Throughout the period, staff maintained a high standard of service, building strong relationships with new families. This quality of care is reflected in the increasing number of children attending, with the final term of the year reaching full capacity and a growing waiting list. Management and staff also remained diligent in keeping up with academic and legislative requirements, undertaking training in areas such as first aid and safeguarding.

In summary, 2023–2024 has been a stable and productive year. The PreSchool has continued to operate to a high standard and remains financially stable, despite ongoing pressures and future challenges. We are proud to continue serving the local community with safe, reliable, and high-quality childcare, as evidenced by the sustained demand for places.
