Charity Name: Brereton Pre-school & Playgroup Address: School Lane, Brereton, Sandbach, Cheshire CW11 1RN Email Address: breretonpreschool@gmail.com Contact Number: 01477534304
Charity Registration Number: 1079328
Date of Report: 17/10/2022
The key purpose our charity is to provide affordable, quality early year’s education to all within the local community. Our committee is currently made up of our Chair: Laura Coles, Vice Chair: Kezia Taylerson, Secretary: Elizabeth Bailey and Treasurer:Sue Phillips. We recruit our trustees from our cohort of parents as necessary each July as part of our AGM. Our aim is to provide support to our Pre-school manager Sharon Edwards and her staff. Committee meetings are held each half term and minutes are distributed accordingly. It is the Pre-school Manager’s role to undertake the day to day running of the Pre-school, deliver the EYFS based curriculum, manage safeguarding and carry out appraisals with staff every two years. The Manager’s appraisal is carried out by the Chair. Our welcome evening held in September provided parents with an opportunity to meet all the Pre-school staff as well as our committee members. A talk was given by The Pre-school manager, explaining the Preschool day, expectations of staff, children and parents, safeguarding and important dates for the year ahead. Information was also given about the committee, its role in supporting Preschool and how parents can get involved. Feedback from parents was extremely positive.
This financial year 1st April 2021 – 30th March 2022 has been another successful year and seen a further increase in the number of families we serve.
We have due regard for and have carried out our purpose for public benefit in the community by providing affordable childcare and education and providing a smooth transition for our children from preschool to primary school. We now offer fully flexible childcare to the local community which provides a broader benefit to the children and parents we serve and we are believe we are providing the best public benefit possible for our circumstance. We are situated on the site of Brereton C of E Primary School and have opening hours to complement the school hours, allowing those with older children at the school to drop off and pick up before school starts and finishes. This includes wraparound care both in the mornings from 0745 and in the evening to 1745. We currently employ 8 qualified members of staff whose hours vary.
Any excess funds at the end of our academic year are transferred into the charity savings account. This enables us to carry out any maintenance work as necessary, purchase resources for the children, maintain high levels of staff training and will hopefully, in the future allow us to replace our portable building without relying solely on fundraising.
