BRAYTON BUSY BEES PRE-SCHOOL
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
Structure, governance and management
The charity's governing document is the New Pre-school Learning Alliance Pre-school Constitution 2011. Our
trustees are elected at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) or at a general committee meeting if necessary, during
the year, by the membership of the pre-school.
Brayton Busy Bees is registered with Ofsted (registration no 400459) and is a member of the Pre-school Learning
Alliance.
Busy Bees has a childcare protection policy in place, which includes carrying out Disclosure and Barring Service
(DBS) checks for new and existing members of staff and the committee. These checks are carried out every three
years.
All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration or benefits.
The pre-school works in partnership with Brayton Methodist Church, from whom it rents the rooms in which it
provides Early Years Education and Childcare.
Financial Review
The total income for the year was £118,730 (2019: £87,125) and the total payments for the year was £95,479
(2019: £91,696) which gave a net income for the year £23,251 (2019: net expenditure £4,571) .
Reserves policy
The current level of free reserves is £62,802 (2019: £40,054). The charity's reserves are retained to enable it to
meet any liabilities should the nursery close. This would also provide flexibility should additional staff be taken on
during the financial year. It is proposed that this policy be reviewed annually following the financial end of year.
Objectives and activities
Brayton Busy Bees Pre-school aims are to enhance the development and education of children primarily
under statutory school age by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children
through community groups and by:
offering appropriate play, education and care facilities, family learning and extended hours,groups,
together with the right of parents to take responsibility for and to become involved in the activities of
such groups, ensuring that such groups offer opportunities for all children whatever their race, culture,
religion, means or ability.
encouraging the study of the needs of such children and their families and promoting public interest in
and recognition of such needs in the local areas"
instigating and adhering to and furthering the aims and objects of the Pre-school Learning Alliance.
Brayton Busy Bees is a small, friendly, parent managed pre-school providing a varied, interesting and informative
early learning years education for children between the age of two and five years. The pre-school accommodates
20 children in the morning and 20 children in the afternoon.

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020 (Continued)
As trustees, we are confident that we have complied with the duty under section 17(5) of the Charities Act and the
Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the
Charity Commission. Our pre-school has been educating children and benefitting the community for over thirty
years. Providing childcare from 2 years to school age means we teach children important social skills which will
take them into school and beyond. We work with all local primary schools to enable smooth transitions.
Achievements and performance
Brayton Busy Bees had a promising start to the year, providing childcare for 39 families from Brayton and the
surrounding area.
We continued to build and work hard to enhance the children's learning and development providing regular
weekly learning experiences from outdoor agencies such as "Little Messys and Rugby Tots" and had a visit from
"Sams Safari"
We enhanced our SEN resources to include more sensory equipment and up-dated and expanded our Home
Learning Resources.
We organised and paid for a bus trip to Lotherton Hall to visit Santa's Grotto for parents and children and had a
Christmas Paty at a local soft play area.
The children and parents were invited to a Harvest Festival hosted by the Methodist Church and we also
collected food donations for the local food bank.
The children also took part in a "Christingle Service" hosted by the Methodist Church where the children helped
with the Nativity and parents were invited to attend. We also had our own Christmas Concert and invited parents
and some members of the Methodist Church congregation.
The children enjoyed visits to Fernbank Court, a retirement home in the local village where on one occasion they
performed a rendition of nursery rhymes and on a second occasion Christmas songs. This was greatly received
by the residents who enjoyed their company and joined in with the singing.
Vvhen the pandemic struck we closed in line with Government Guidance but were eager and ready to open our
doors on the 1st of June to keyworkers and children with EHCP.
During the summer term we continued to follow strict government guidance on Covid Procedures implanting
systems of control to keep the children and staff safe and well. We enhanced and maximised our outdoor space
to create two gardens with mirror images of toys and equipment so our two bubbles of children had access to
outdoor play tD SUPPOrt their physical education and support their health and well being.
The virus unfortunately put a stop to any other planned activities and visits.
We successfully put a bid in for TESCO bags for help for £500.00 to help us buy wipe clean mats and cushions
for the setting and opened a "Just Giving" page to help purchase the new equipment for the garden.
We did have an open day planned but this did not go ahead but we continued to market ourselves through
facebook and word of mouth and had success in doing so.
