To enhance the development and education of children, primarily under statutory school age.

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

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 provision of a pre-school for children aged 2-5, open from 9- 3.30 five days a week in term time; the provision of a toddler group for children aged 0 upwards and their parents and carers; the provision of afterschool care for children of pre-school and primary school age; the provision of holiday clubs for children aged 3-11 during school holidays. The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and are satisfied that the charity’s activities comply with that guidance. In particular, although nearly all the charity’s services are provided on a fee-paying basis: (a) a substantial proportion of those fees (in this reporting period, 15 hours per week for all 3 and 4 year olds, and for 2 year olds whose families are in receipt of certain benefits) are paid by the local authority’s Nursery Education Fund grant and are free at point of use to the beneficiaries, thus ensuring that all families can benefit regardless of income; and (b) fees not covered by NEF grant are kept as low as is consistent with the continued provision of the services.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

This had been another successful year until the Covid pandemic forced closure and concerns arose around how government funding would be provided.

Wage costs continue to be a pressure with upwards pressure on the living wage and pension contribution rates without any corresponding increase in NEF rates. We will continue to lobby for an increase in NEF rates in order to meet these increased wage costs.

The pandemic has meant low numbers continuing to attend but we have done our best to support and assist our families in uncertain times.

Section E Financial review
