Section D Achievements and performance Summary of the maln achievements of the charlty during the year During this year we have been monitoring our funds closely to make sure that we were able to break even due to considerable losses in the previous financial year. However. this has not prevented us from providing a full programme for the children in our care. We 2 large donations from the local Parish council and Ihe local Church Warden fund to update our IT provision at prewschool and to support a child at the setting for which we were very grateful. This year the childr8n have benefitted from a much-loved visit to the local bird and animal sanctuary 'Birdworld' with the staff, where the child￿n enjoyed feeding the birds and exploring the lovely gardens. We all went on a minibus and had a thoroughly enjoyable day. Our main fundraising event this year was at the annual village fete 'The Revels. when the village residents come together to celebrate the crownir)g of the new May Queen. We also held a 'pyjama day, at pre- school and a book sale. Again, this year we also had support from parent volunteers on both the Management Committee and Fundraising Team. The time, effort and energy that they have given voluntsrily over the year, has been invaluable to the Pre-school. The Pre-school always encourage thelr staff to further thelr own learning and during this year we subscribed to the Local Authorily training service and attended several courses. We also paid for all our staff members to complete their Paediatric First Aid qualification and we received a govemmenl grant for one of our staff m8mbers to complete the Early Years Professlonal Developmant course, whlch she passed wlth success and has used her new knowledge and skills at prewschool. As always, our staff deSer￿e to be mentioned for the effort and energy they put into the Pre-school, providing a supportive and stimulating environment for the children, constantly coming up wilh new and imaginative activities. A huge thank you has to go to the Lead Practitioner Elizabeth Vigar, who has led and continues to lead the pre-school forward with the support of her dedicated team. TAR March 2012

Section E Financial review Reserves are kept to fund upcoming capital projects, cover costs in case our income eX￿edS our outgoings in a particular year. Additionally, funds would be needed to cover any redundancy pay if the pre-school should ever shut down or if an extraordinary event should 8ver happen, such as another pandemic like COVID19. This year we received a late payment of circa £1 0,000 from the government funding, which should have been paid in the previous year and therefore our overall profit is not so nificant.
