Section E
Flnanclal revlew
Pre-school have a reserve policy In pface which currently has a shortfall.
Despite havlng a healthy waltbng Ilst for September 2024. many parents
decided nol to wait and placed their chlld in other provislons, leading to a
decrease in expecled funded Income for the first term. Numbers of
children attending did gradualFy increase throughout the year, but due to
Ihe annual increase In cost of living and the contlnuing sharp increase in
the Natlonal Llvlng Wage each year it did result in having to utilise the
reserve account. Unfortunately, the NEF f rom the local authority stiif does
not Increase in Ilne with the increase of the NLW.
Brief statement of the charltys
pollcy on reserves
The roll out of government funded worklng parent entiilement from 9
monihs old has resulted in many working parents placing their child wtth
nurseries and childrninders from a young age and contlnuing their care
with that provision until the child reaches school age, seeing a decline in
applications for preschool age children. However, applications do still
continue to be submitted to us and we continue to remain stable.
All monies go back into the running of the setting and to pay for new
resources. An
sur
lus is
ut back in to the reserve account.
