Alongside the provision of childcare, the charity focuses on development of children to equip them with the physical, mental and emotional skills required to start their primary school education. The preschool is run in a safe, clean and well resourced environment where children are given the opportunity to participate in a wide range of fun and educational activities which promote all areas of development and March **2012** **TAR** 2 ## 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. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. March **2012** **TAR** 3 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. March **2012** **TAR** 4 ## **Section E Financial review** ~~a~~ **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** Sufficient funds are held to cover closure or unforeseen event costs such as redundancy or loss of income. Access to these funds is restricted and are held separately from the preschools working capital. **Details of any funds materially in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** The charity’s principal sources of funds are from fees, government early years education funding, fundraising and donations. You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: Expenditure over £200 is pre-approved by the committee after a request is submitted by the pre school manager. This request will include a description and reason/justification of the expenditure, this is assessed giving consideration to the objectives of the charity alongside it’s current and future financial position. - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - of the charity; Broughton Preschool is currently in a sound financial position and is able to continue operating as a going concern.
