The charity sets out to deliver the best value for money and accessible
early years education for the children and its families within the local
community. The local area has a huge amount of low-cost housing being
built at this time and each section of new housing has 35 % low-cost
housing built within it.
The setting aims to work with other professionals and its wider
community to ensure that all ethnic and minority communities also have
the same opportunities as the rest of the community within the settings
vicinity. We have a high percentage of Eastern Europeans that attend the
setting and the second biggest language we have after English is Polish.
The setting works towards ensuring that every child that attends develops
a secure understanding of their own and others cultural capital by giving
them experiences that widen their understanding of the world around
them and their own family and cultural experiences of their past are built
on with blocks of new knowledge and understanding delivered through a
wide and va
in
curriculum.
Summary of the objects of the
charity set out in its
governing document
The setting is a charity-based setting pre-school who take children from
2-4 years and accept two-year funding and the government 30-hour
funding alongside the government 15-hour funding that all three- and
four-year-olds receive the term after they are three years old.
We have a high number of families that access the 30~hour funding and
most of the children that attend come for at least their 30hrs if not the full
39 that we offer at the current time.
We have a committed traveller liaison group which works to ensure equal
opportunities for this community and have strong secure relationships on
and off the traveller sites in Bedford. We go onsite tot the traveller
community and hold work/play sessions and information sessions for the
parents as well as joining forces with the local school to ensure that there
is continuality of care for this community.
Summary of the main
activities undertaken for the
public benefit in relation to
these objects (include within
this section the statutory
declaration that trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit)
The trustees of the pre-school work hard to ensure the ever-changing
community benefit from the settings approach to an affordable
outstanding early education for all its members and make any changes to
provision that may be needed as quickly as they can to ensure that all the
families in the community have continuality of provision, early education,
and care as and when required.

The setting works with its local collages, university, and upper schools to
provide work experience for young adults and university students who
are looking or going into this area of work. This has been put on hold
because of Covid from March-August
The setting works in partnership with other settings sharing resources so
that children from the surrounding settings have the opportunity to use
equipment that would be stored until needed. We have made a
community Hub that meets online once a month to discuss if other
settings could benefit from using stored equipment and vice versa.
You may choose to include
further statements, where
relevant, about:

investment.
The trustees ensure that the staff have every opportunity to enhance and
expand their own personal training such as the manager attending
university to obtain her level 6 in Early Years Studies, Other staff going
on to train as level 4 and 5 and training for self-regulation and emotional
welfare of young children.

Section D
Achievements and performance
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
The setting has achieved full capacity with a wait list for the next two
years and is fully funded by the government grant system, this means
that we now take a higher amount of deprived two-year-olds, and they
are thriving in the setting. We also take a higher amount than usual of
children that are LAC children and work hard with other professionals so
these children can develop the skills they need to go on to fulfil a happy
thriving life.
We organised online videos of the staff doing physical activities that our
setting children could interact with when they where at home during
Covid and gave out learning packs, food parcels and collected
prescriptions and other essentials for our families and some other
families in the community who did not have transport or who were
isolating.
The staff have all continued their own personal development and now the
setting has a very highly trained number of staff who pride themselves on
being able to provide the highest quality early education and care.

trustees and examiner under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an
independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,

Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given
examiner's statement by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the
accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts
presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the
trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and
consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true
and fair, view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the
statement below.

comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
