Aims and objectlves The aim of the charity is to provide pre-school education in the year prior to starting school in a safe and secure environment. The staff, supported by the management committee, are committed to encouraging children to learn and develop key skills through play and following a curriculum to support each child in reaching their full potential In preparation for starting school. Our staff create an environment where each individual child is given the opportunity to avail of a wide range of activities to help support and develop them in the 6 areas of learning. Pip and Jims aims to provide and maintain equality of opportunity for all children, parents, carers, staff and volunteers. The setting is open to every family in the community, regardless of their religion affiliation, political background, race, gender, ability or disability.

We have regular support from an Early Years Specialist to ensure that the setting is fully inclusive. How our charity benefits the community Our activities provide benefit to the local community by: Providing opportunity for education Providing opportunity for affordable childcare Providing opportunity for staff development via training and qualifications Providing quality childcare in a rural environment Supporting parents/guardians Promoting the development of the 7 areas of learningvia play-based activities Financial Review The charity returned a profit for the year of £9,997. The setting receives funding from the Education Authority for each child in attendance. We were able to draw back some money from the previous year's deficit due to a quick rise in child attendees due to a local setting closing down. Money has been used to pay staff wages, contribute to heat, light and Insurance costs for the premises, food, educatlonal resources (both indoor
and outdoor) and the general running of the settlng. Funds aro supplemented through fund raising events held In conjunction with parents and friends in the local area, this includes a summer Lgnd winter raffle. The trustees are appolnted annually durlng the Annual General Meetlng whlch is usually held around October. Suitable candidates are considered based on their skills, experience and sympathy wlth the aims of the charity. Related parties and co-operation with other organisations.
