We aim to ensure that each child: • Is in a safe and stimulating environment • Is given generous care and attention, enabled by our high ration of qualified staff to children and as well as volunteer parent helpers; • Has the chance to join with other children and adults to live, play, work, learn and have fun together; • Is encouraged to take forward his/her learning and development be being helped to build on what he/she already knows and can do; • Has a personal key person who makes sure each child makes satisfying progress and who offers support to the family as a whole; • Is in a setting which sees parents as partners in helping your child to learn and develop; and • Is in a setting in which parents help to shape the service it offers. The pre-School offers 3 hours sessions per week for a maximum of 16 children per session. There are 5 morning sessions from 9am – 12 noon and 5 afternoon sessions from 12 noon until 3pm. Children attending both morning and afternoon sessions will attend from 9am – 3pm. Additionally, a further 15 minutes is offered for these children from 3pm – 3.15pm in order to coincide with the end of the primary school day. The sessions are open to children of age 2-5. Funded places are available for 2 and 3 and 4 year olds. Funding for 2-year olds is subject to eligibility. The Preschool offers 30 hours funded places to 3 and 4 year olds whose parents are eligible. A learning journal is maintained for each child by their key person and parents are encouraged to contribute to this too. **TAR** March **2012** 3 Sessions are organised so that the children choose from, and work at, a range of activities and in doing so, build up their ability to select and work through a task to completion. The children are also helped and encouraged to take part in adult-led small and large group activities which introduce them to new experiences and help them to gain new skills, as well as encouraging them to learn to work with others. Outdoor activities contribute to children’s health, their physical development and their understanding of the world around them. The children have the opportunity, and are encouraged to take part in outdoor, child-chosen and adult-led activities, as well as those provided in the indoor playroom. The trustees consider that these activities provide a public benefit to children below statutory school age in the village and surrounding area by offering them a safe environment in which they can learn and develop. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** N/A You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. **TAR** March **2012** 4 Section D Achievements and performance Fundraising –Wreath Making, Christmas Market, Raffles and Mother’s **Summary of the main** Day planters **achievements of the charity** Closed due to Coronavirus meaning reduction in fees and unable to **during the year** fundraise, no Preschool Trip in the Summer Term. **TAR** March **2012** 5 ## **Section E Financial review** The charity holds significant reserves for a charity of its size. These have **Brief statement of the** been built up over several years and are held for the following reasons. **charity’s policy on reserves** Firstly, the trustees recognise that the number of children attending the setting can fluctuate and therefore some money is held in reserve to ensure the continued running of the group should there be a period of low numbers. Secondly, the previous setting in the primary school was initially intended to be temporary and so money was kept in reserve for such a time that new premises was to be sort, in July-Aug 2018 we moved to our new setting at Manor Close with some of the funds being put to good use to ensure the new setting was to the standard required. Finally, it is necessary to hold amounts in reserve to provide for redundancy costs should the Pre-School no longer be able to continue. **Details of any funds materially** N/A **in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** - The overall loss for the year was £6372.61.
