Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

We have maintained our close family friendly approach and the preschool continues to be a happy and safe one. All members, community and families are personally known and cared for by the staff. A visit was made in May 2018 from Ofsted and were awarded GOOD. All pre-school staff are DBS checked along with any committee members. All have safeguarding and PREVENT training in place. 2 senior members of staff are appointed for the management responsibilities. There are a total of 9 paid staff.

The unforeseen Covid 19 pandemic continued to see many challenges since March 2020 as evidenced with every other educational sector. Without the continued funding by the DfE throughout the pandemic, the Pre-school would not have survived.

The Pre-School reached out to as many families during the pandemic to ensure that their children could attend sessions if they were classed as keyworkers. This was difficult in such challenging circumstances and with the restraints placed upon the Pre-school and the rented hall.

Families were contacted via social media to ensure they were kept up to date on events and all staff were contactable during the pandemic, to ensure that children and their families felt supported and any issues could be addressed.

Since restrictions from Covid have been relaxed the Pre-School have seen a slow increase in numbers and hopefully this tend will continue. The Pre-School is however, seeing a reduction in numbers as other establishments open offering wider opening hours; and this seems to be the trend for more 30 hours provision. Regretfully the Pre- School is unable to offer wider opening sessions as the hours of availability at the location are not available.

Section E Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves

The charity has yet to implement a reserves policy, but is in the process of doing so. Current reserves remain over £15000 to go some way to ensure the Pre-School could meet its statutory obligations should the need arise. Trustees are advised of this rationale at every AGM.
