Achievements and Performance
SORP refe￿nce
The team continue to work hard to provide
a sustainable and nurturing environment for
all children who attend despite significant
changes mid-year linked to government
funding and free child care entitlement for
working families and a change in
leadership structure at the beginning of the
year.
2023r24 has been another Su￿ssful year
with all spaced filled which has helped
continue to maintain and drive financial
sustainability for the preschool, despite
p￿SsureS of rising costs and changes
mentioned above.
Woodley preschool has been the receiver
of 4 individual additional grants from HCC
and has had a positive year for fundraising
via various activities such as"
Child￿n designed Christmas cards
Christmas Fair (with raffle and stalls)
theelathon
Summer Fair (with raffle and stalls)
End of year photos with Lucy
The money from fundraising and the
additional grants has helped maintain
general supplies and resources that the
children use on a daily basis as well as
providing many opportunities throughout
the year such as:
Wooden peephole den and new fence to
improve the outside play areas
New doakroom storage trolley
Tables and noticeboard
25 shelf mobile painting drying rad(
And activities through the year, like.. the
mobile fann visit. a magician and a clown,

school in the final temi (not typical
under previous management)
Reducing the number of settling in
sessions from 3 to 1 to reduce
number of free hours and increase
number of paidlfunded hours
Increased the number of key
children per staff member from 6 to
9, reducing number of staff required
per session (still wrthin legal

The aim of trustees is to build up enough
reserrfes for 3 months of costs as well as to
set aside enough funds to cover staff

Elected by committee at AGM
Additional infomiation (optional)
You ma
choose to include further statements where relevant about"
The majority of our trustees come from the
parents of the children attending the
preschool. These are voted in each year at the
AGM and have to be re*lected for any
additional years.
Policies and procedures
adopted for the induction
and training of trustees
Parn151
In addition to the parents the committee may
vote on other indprfiduals with relevant skills.
These are also elected at the AGM.
All trustees are DBS checked before they can
work on the committee.
The charity is also a member of the Pre-school
Learning Alliance who help advise on
governance issues.
The main risk to the charity is going concern.
This is impacted by not attracting enough
children to attend or changes in legislation
restricting or removing the grants for 3 to 5
year olds. We feel this risk is covered through
our strong reputation in the local area and links
with the infant school we share a slte with.
The second risk is not meeting the laws and
regulations associated with running a pre-
school. We have experienced staff who keep
up to date with all the latest changes in law5
and regulation5 and ensure we adhere to
these.
