|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|Para 1.17|Clanfield Community Pre-School has been<br>operating since 1992, offering term-time<br>childcare and education for the local<br>community. It is managed by a parent-<br>trustee committee.<br>The purpose of the charity is to enhance<br>the development and education of children<br>under statutory school age by encouraging<br>parents to understand and provide for the<br>needs of their children through community<br>groups and by:<br>a) Offering appropriate education and<br>care facilities, together with the right<br>of parents to become involved in the<br>activities of such groups;<br>b) Encouraging the study of the needs<br>of such children and their families,<br>and promoting public interest in and<br>recognition of such needs in the<br>local area;<br>c) Instigating and adhering to and<br>furthering the aims and objectives of<br>the Early Years Alliance.|

## **Achievements and Performance** 

SORP reference 



|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|This year we have managed to raise the<br>numbers of children from an average of 30<br>per session, to 37 by the Spring term. This<br>has made the setting accessible to a<br>greater number of the community. Due to<br>the increased rates of government funding<br>in the summer term, we have been able to<br>keep our privately-funded hours at a<br>minimum, to remain accessible to the<br>lower-income families in the area. The<br>financial benefit of the increased numbers<br>and rates has allowed us to invest in new<br>SEN equipment and Level 3 training,<br>providing new experiences and<br>development for the children that will aid<br>them on their journey into school. We held<br>various seasonal craft weeks throughout<br>the year to fundraise for outside equipment<br>and building works, to provide much-<br>needed shading for the children outside, as<br>well as a new mud kitchen. We held our<br>annual summer fair to raise money and<br>allow the parents to get involved with the<br>setting. We continue to support the families<br>most in need, by providing supplementary<br>funding towards free school meals.|

## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: 

|Achievements against<br>objectives set|Para 1.41|The objective this year was to improve the<br>financial position to increase sustainability.<br>We aimed to increase the average number<br>of children per session from 30 to 35, and<br>this target was exceeded by the spring<br>term. We also aiming to make a surplus<br>this year and have surpassed expectations<br>to end with a £34.8K surplus, through<br>careful management of resources and<br>additional grant funding.|

## **Financial Review** 

|**Financial Review**|||
|---|---|---|
|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|Cash in hand and at bank was £61.4K on<br>31stAug 2024 in unrestricted funds, with a<br>net surplus of £34.8K.|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|Minimum of £10K reserves to be held for<br>redundancy provision.|
|Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|£61.4K|
|Reasons for holding zero<br>reserves|Para 1.22||
|Details of fund materially in<br>deficit|Para 1.24||
|Explanation of any<br>uncertainties about the<br>charity continuing as a going<br>concern|Para 1.23|The charity is a going concern- finances<br>have improved year on year, income is<br>forecast at sustainable levels for the next<br>financial year, and increases to expenditure<br>have been mitigated. Reserves have<br>increased to meet unexpected expenditure.|



## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: 

|The charity’s principal<br>sources of funds (including<br>any fundraising)|Para 1.47|The principal source of funds is from<br>government-funded childcare hours, along<br>with privately-invoiced hours and small<br>amounts from grants and fundraising at<br>events throughout the year.|
|---|---|---|
|Investment policy and<br>objectives including any<br>social investment policy<br>adopted|Para 1.46||
|A description of the principal<br>risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|The biggest risk to the charity is the<br>underfunding from the government-funded<br>childcare hours scheme, as we do not<br>impose a limit on the number of funded<br>places we take on and therefore the<br>privately-funded hours are not enough to<br>mitigate the underfunding. The current<br>rates of funding do not cover the essential<br>training/planning time for the staff, nor<br>essential resources. Increased funding has<br>been seen this year, but only from Spring<br>term, so a full year’s benefit has yet to be<br>seen, as this is likely to be offset by<br>increases to utilities and NMW. A<br>secondary risk is the turnover of trustees,<br>due to the nature of the business- once<br>their children leave, they must become an<br>affiliate member, of which the constitution<br>limits numbers.|
