Charity name: Chieveley Pre-School

Objectives and Activities

SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document		 Para 1.17 The aims of the Pre-school 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:
(a) 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;
(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 areas;
(c) instigating and adhering to and furthering
the aims and objects of the Pre-school
Learning Alliance.
Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.		 Para 1.17 and
1.19		 The aim of the pre-school is to provide care
and education to children aged 2-5, mainly
through play-based activities. The pre-school
receives funding from the local council to
provide equipment, resources and qualified
staff to care for the children, all of whom
come from the local area.

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 The pre-school charity has provided around
30 children this year with many activities and
opportunities which have contributed to their
development, increasing their confidence to
move on to school. The pre-school also
supports children with SEND and has seen a
marked difference in their personal
development.
The pre-school provision allows for parents
to work during the hours their child attends.
This provides income for families and
greater levels of opportunity.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period		 Para 1.21 The pre-school is central to the village
community and has a waiting list for children
wanting to attend. With ongoing fundraising
and an increase in funding this year, the
charity is in a secure financial position.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 Over the last few years the financial results
of the pre-school have been very challenging
due to external factors such as government
funding and energy running costs. In
particular our revenue can vary enormously.
This is because numbers of children vary
due to demographic reasons together with
the admissions policy of local schools.
The committee has agreed that the pre-
school should aim to hold reserves covering
6 months of expenditure. This level will give
the committee enough time to adjust
expenditure plans and seek alternative
sources of revenue if a major problem
should arise.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 £12,299.84
Reasons for holding zero
reserves		 Para 1.22
Details of fund materially in

uncertainties about the
