Section C Objectives and activities
Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document
The Pre-School’s aim is to provide excellent care and education, which meets the needs and aspirations of the families in the community it serves within the terms of the constitution. More specifically, it has identified medium and long term goals as follows:
-
Increase number of students on roll, continue to advertise the preschool locally and engage with local community
-
Develop the team and support development of the team through training and new government guidance for early years settings
-
Continue to self-assess, including gaining the views of parents, and seek to improve.
Since it was established in 1999 the Pre-School has grown considerably in size and is very well regarded both by parents who use it and the local community. Its core strengths are its links with parents and the wider local community in which it operates. The local community is highly valued by those who live in it, and this is reflected in the Pre-School and the support that it enjoys. The Pre-School also has a strong active committee of parents.
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 Pre-School ensures that all children in the local area, whatever their race, culture, religion, means or ability can benefit from our services. There is no catchment area restrictions for the setting.
All trustees have full regards to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Over the year, covered by these accounts. the focus was to provide a continued service, ensuring that new, continued and safe practices were in place to manage the restrictions and challenges of COVID-19.
The total number attending the setting has declined and reflective of the impact of COVID-19. The restrictions have also led to minimised interactive and community opportunities. However, the move to a new location (Warren Centre in Micheldever Station) is hoped to be positive step in supporting the enrolment of new children and opportunities.
Unfortunately, there hasn’t been an opportunity for significant fundraising due to restrictions, which have resulted in the financial losses stated in the accounts. However, the Governments furlough scheme supported the income as well as a couple of generous donations. Active plans are in place for both fundraising and enrolment of new children into the setting.
