The objective of Oxenhope Pre-School is to provide a pre-school setting to enhance the development and education of children under statutory school age by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of children through community groups and by: Summary of the objects of (a) offering appropriate play facilities, together with the opportunity for the charity set out in its parents to take responsibility for and to become involved in the activities governing document of such groups. (b) 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 area.

Oxenhope Pre-School is a long standing and well-respected community group within the village of Oxenhope, Keighley, which we believe has enhanced the quality of life and education of children and their parents. We do this through encouraging and supporting a broad array of learning and development to help prepare children for their transition to primary school.

In managing the pre-school, the trustees consider the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Autumn –

We welcomed the children and their families back to pre-school after a prolonged closure due to COVID. In September we employed a new early years practitioner, Chloe who was to cover for Hannah’s maternity leave. The Deputy Manager went on Early Years Safeguarding Lead training to ensure the safety and well-being of all children in our care. A parent very kindly donated some resources for the outdoor area including a bird box, picnic bench and mud kitchen. We began organising our Christmas Raffle which was very well supported by parents and businesses, and we got 30 prizes to raffle.

– Spring

We celebrated lots of different celebrations at pre-school such as Chinese New Year. Unfortunately, we had some vandalism in our outdoor area which meant we had to replace some resources. We reported this to the police and the community were very supportive. We had a long waiting list , particularly for two year olds and closed our admissions until September 2022. The children enjoyed celebrating Earth Day 2021 and went out litter picking in the community. We also took part in the Green Tree Schools Award with the Woodland Trust.

Summer –

We began to recruit for a temporary Early Years practitioner to cover Beth’s maternity leave. We advertised our September 2021 places with a virtual tour video on our website and social media sites. Numbers of children looked very good for September 2022. We ended the year with a very exciting Seaside day where we had donkeys, swimming and an ice cream van! The children loved this. The Deputy Manager handed in her notice and left in July 2021.
