the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|We are an independent pre-school which
also has charitable status and is run by
parent volunteers who carry out the aims
and objectives of the pre-school.
All monies raised in whatever manner go
back into to resourcing the group where all
monies are directly spent on the children.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|We aim to serve every child within the local
community and beyond. We maintain
strong links with all aspects of the
community including the local primary
school. We believe that children play a vital
role within our communities.
Here at pre-school we believe that children
learn best through play, we therefore have
a great deal of free flow play in which the
children are able to make independent
choices about activities that they are
interested in. We plan for children’s
learning through their interests, assessing
their well-being, involvement and
schematic play. We take a holistic
approach to both development and learning
where all children are valued.
We follow the Early Years Foundation
Stage Guidance and provide a rich variety
of resources both indoor and outdoor. We
also provide regular opportunities for
exploring the local environment for the
children,
a truly enriched learning experiencing. All
our staff are well qualified, undertake
training and update knowledge in line with
Ofsted and other government
requirements.
The pre-school has had 18 plus children on
the roll through the year.| |Statement confirming

charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|We continue to provide three full days (8am
to 5.30pm) sessions during both term time
and as holiday club provision. There are
then two additional morning sessions
offered during term time only.
This provides a realistic option for working
parents and has contributed greatly to the
ongoing financial stability of the pre-school.
The Committee are committed to ensuring
wages rates continue to rise annually. This
is to both recognise the performance of the
current staff and to enable future
recruitment. The increases do have an
impact on both operating cash flow and the
redundancy provision and therefore we
must ensure cash reserves cover any
expected costs. The Preschool has run at a
loss for the year due to work patterns
causing a reduction in usage of the wrap
around care offering.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: Achievements against Para 1.41 |objectives set||| |---|---|---| |Performance of fundraising

funds to cover statutory redundancy
payments. This is reviewed periodically.
In addition, a capital reserve is held for any
future building costs. (The preschool being
responsible for all maintenance of the
building under the terms of the lease with

works as they arise, we would be forced to
