Staff meet regularly to evaluate sessions and plan activities based on the needs and interests of children attending. Key workers will visit other settings of children that attend other settings. As part of the EYFS guide we also do 2-year home visits and complete a folder for each child who attends. We also liase with future reception schools to work with them for the benefit of each child. All staff are encouraged to attend training courses such as food hygiene, first aid and foundation in early years as well as SEN training. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** March **2012** **TAR** 3 You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. Section D Achievements and performance March **2012** **TAR** 4 ## Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** We have a new manager that joined us in September 2021, Jo Brookfield has been great asset to the preschool. In Spring 2022, we received an OUTSTANDING from OFSTED in each category, the inspector even said she had run out space to put all the positive feedback in. We joined the School this year for a joint Fete which was such a lovely event and raised nearly £1000 for Preschool. We have huge success fundraising with Readthons and Raffles being the most successful. We have supported a number of children this year with Additional Needs, and preparing them for their move to school. Working with the families, outside agencies and training our staff to give them best support. **Section E Financial review** March **2012** **TAR** 5 ## **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** **Details of any funds materially in deficit** Preschool's contingency fund is held in a separate savings account. These funds are the amount required for redundancy of staff and one terms expenditure of rent should or income drop or drastically reduce. Any excess income will continually go into contingency to top up reserves to ensure we are still within policy and ensure the village and community has a preschool for many years to come. n/a ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. Our principle source of income is through local council funding of 15 and 30 hours free childcare for 2,3,4 year olds. We also receive income from those families who go beyond their government entitlement. Our expenditure has provided the children with an outstanding setting and excellent learning opportunities by using fun equipment and having highly trained and enthusiastic staff. Staff go above and beyond with their planning to keep children engaged and show a real passion to capture children's imagination and to ensure they are learning and enjoy their time at preschool. We continue to pride ourselves on providing staff training when possible to keep them engaged with their professions and up to date with any new developments in early years education. ## **Section F Other optional information** As in previous years, the level of responsibility that parents as volunteer committees are required to assume can be onerous, especially as often there is an entirely new committee each year as children move onto different schools. We have been lucky to have some members that continue to dedicate their time and therefore provide a solid base when recruiting new members. There is a plan in place for the summer months to ensure that incoming members are well informed and ready to hit the ground come September to best support the preschool, the supervisor and staff. ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s) Full name(s)** Susan Chester **Position (eg Secretary,** Chair **Chair, etc) Date** 4th January 2023 March **2012** **TAR** 6 CHARITY COMMISSION FOR ENfjiAND AND WALES 1033562 Receipts and payments accounts CC16a Forthe ￿rIOd 0110W2021 To Section A Receipts and payments lund8 tolh• wr••l t toth• r*tn8tf b)th• nw•8t£ tolh• n•or•rt£ to th• twrn8t E fun Total lund A1 R¢c•lpt$ Goverrmwt FLThYlng 114fy35 102.999 19,267 2?11 1311 FurXlr8￿r Grants recèived ift Aid 8cl Refvnd5 bi￿*$1 R8c*wl trarirq 900 42 18 AR) 101.242 161342 $•tan ($99 tsbl*l. men 161.242 A3Pa ents bffjsand a55W*ed ctsgts wanir¢ Ren¢ and P￿T Fcth)d arby tknnk Equi>￿Ert ond Ma￿all fke8rnlAdm FundraBI ExFw* 121.8 52$ 13JO6 1251 219 1.251 1,690 4121 5.1 S.19S 432 41 EfflPk￿e 1*8nl SpenthrvJ 10.124 141.547 Sub tot 6*61 141.801 4 Asset and In¥￿thi￿t r¢ha8e$ • tabl• Sub tot 146.661 1*661 141.547 Nel of tY¢elpts/(payments) AS Tran8fern between fund A6 Cash fund8 last year •nd Cash Iimds thts y•arwd 14,581 14906 $5,832 SSA32 39A28 CCXX R1 acc4unls ISSI 14109r2022 Section B Statement of assets and liabilities at the end of the period Unrestricted R•strl¢ted funds fund$ Categorles Details Endowment funds tr* nvr•M£ B1 Cash funds 21M18 30.002 P*C8gh Cash Oank Total funds SS.832 Endowment funds to n•ar**t£ lunds lund$ to rw•st£ Details 82 Other mon•lary a88¢ts Details Fund to whl Co¥t IL4It CurrentV41ue B3 Invo8tm•nt a8g•ts Details Fundto Costlopllona Curr•nt v•lu• 84 A$8ets r•taln•d ft>r the charlty'¥ own u8 Det?Ils Fund 10 *thIEh knourtdu• Whon d BS L14bllltl Taxes 370 SwJned by one IN$tees vn behall of all th• Iruste88 SvJnalure Prtht Narr D4t¢ of Ll CCXX R2 a¢cL*unts Issi CHARITY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND AND WALES Independent examinerfs report on the accounts Section A Independent Exarniner's Report Report to the tru$t¢esl rnembers of WEST VWICOMBE PRESCHOOL PLAYGROUP On accounts for the y•ar onded 31108r2022 Charfty no (if any) 1033562 Set out on pages I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (Ihe Trusf) for the year ended 3110812021.
