You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:
The majority of funding comes from
childcare fees. Changes in recent years to
The charity’s principal give more free (to the parent) hours of
sources of funds (including Para 1.47 childcare has moved the balance of this to
any fundraising) be 80-90% from government funding
(previously was typically 60%), with the
remained paid by the parents/guardians.
Investment policy and
objectives including any Para 1.46
social investment policy
adopted
As a relatively small setting (typically 12-20
children enrolled), we can be hit hard by
A description of the principal Para 1.46 years in which child numbers are low, so
risks facing the charity need to ensure we start each year able to
stand a loss of £5000 or more.
Increasingly stringent training requirements
in the sector affect our running costs, and
make recruiting qualified staff more difficult.
We have been lucky with excellent staff in
the past, but there is a risk that if key staff
leave could leave we would be unable to
open.
