b) Encouraging the study of needs of such children and their families and promoting public interest in and recognition of such needs in the local area; c) Instigating and adhering to and furthering the aims and objectives of the PLA The Pre-school is open for 15 hours per week providing play, education and care for up to 20 under-fives. As it is based in a rural community the average number of children per term is 13 but this has the benefit of the children having higher staff to child ratios and enables the staff to be very child-led in their approach. As most families find themselves travelling some distance around the moor, we aim to provide a local childcare facility to assist those families in our area. The Pre-school accepts nursery vouchers and so those wishing to return to work or are on low incomes in the local community are able to access our services and some children are eligible for 2gether funding. **Summary of the main** The Pre-school committee and parents take every opportunity to be **activities undertaken for the** involved in local events, usually in a fundraising capacity but nevertheless **public benefit in relation to** providing a service or entertaining during these times.

It is a **benefit)** vital part of the charity’s work as newer members of the community with families can quickly find friends , be introduced to the school and become involved with local events . Committee members have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

## Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
The committee and staff feel that all the aims and objectives in the constitution and prospectus have been met and in some areas enhanced by further training and creativity of the staff. The Pre-school counts as a success that we have been able to continue to provide services for 0-5 year olds during this particularly challenging year. During the period of compulsory lockdown, as we had no children of Key workers or “vulnerable” children, the Pre-school shut, but the staff regularly set suggested activities for the parents to do with their children online, the staff kept in touch with all parents and as soon as the Government allowed nursery settings to re-open for all children, the staff sent a survey to all parents to find out if they were prepared to send their children back to Pre-school, and as soon as they were happy for their children to return, Pre-school re-opened, as we have plenty of outdoor space, most of the time at Pre-school for the rest of the term was spent out of doors. As numbers can fluctuate , we have been pleased to remain financially stable , ensuring the continuation of the service in the future .
