## PLAYDAYS PRE-SCHOOL MEETING IN THE METHODIST CHURCH HALL 

## TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021 

## The Trustees present their annual report for the year ended 31 August 2021. 

The annual accounts comply with all statutory requirements, the charity's constitution and the Statement of Recommended Practice 2000 - Accounting and Reporting by Charitles (SORP 2000). 

## CHARITY STATUS 

Playdays Pre-school meeting In the Methodist Church Hall has its own constitution which was adopted on the 31 January 2001 and amended on 1 May 2001 and 27 February 2013. !t was formally known as Chard Methodist Pre-school until 27 February 2013 when it changed its name. It is a registered charity number 1087653. 

## TRUSTEES 

The Charity’s Trustees during the year are set out on Page 1 together with other administrative details. Trustees are appointed in accordance with the charity's constitution by election every year at the annual general meeting. No remuneration has been paid to trustees. 

## OBJECTS AND AIMS 

To enhance the development and education of children primarily under statutory school age, by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through community groups. Further details can be found in the Constitution. 

## STRATEGIES 

All planning is based on the Children’s individual needs as laid down in the Early Years Foundation Stage prepared by the Department of Education and Employment. Each child has a personal profile that follows them through their Early Years Education. 

Staff meet weekly to plan the programme. The choice of activities and deployment of staff Is also based on the ages, needs and development levels of the children. 

## RESERVES AND INVESTMENT POLICY 

The Trustees realise that the charity is fortunate to have healthy accumulated reserves of £25,111 (2020: £26,222) after deduction of closing liabilities. It is the Trustees view that given the uncertainty of the income stream from year to year which is dependant on children numbers, there is a requirement to hold sufficient reserves to continue the charity's work for the foreseeable future. 

## RISK POLICY 

The trustees actively review, on a regular basis, the major risks, both financial and operational, which the charity potentially faces. The Trustees have established strong Internal systems to mitigate any significant risks and these are also regularly reviewed.

## TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021 CONTINUED 

## ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS DURING THE YEAR 

This current year has obviously been dominated by Covid-19. We stayed open during the second lockdown and encouraged to by the government. A comprehensive risk assessment is in place for staff, children and parents. The current guidelines have made it more challenging to interact and form a relationship with the parents, but the children have responded well to all the guidelines in place for their, thelr families and the staff’s health and well-being. Jodie 1s completing her level 3 SENCO NVQ training; this is due to be completed this summer. Bridget has recently updated her Working Together Training. All training and meetings with County and other professionals are currently being held virtually. 

We were very excited to be invited to visit the pool site in April. The children have enjoyed watching it being bullt over the fence. 

Sadly, Linda has decided it is time for her to retire from Playdays. She left at the end of the Autumn term 2020. 

We are hopeful for a more positive 2021/22 academic year. 

## FINANCES 

The receipts and payments account shows a deficit on unrestricted funds of £1,731 (2020: surplus £4,506) 

## FUTURE PLANS 

. 

To continue updating the staff training.

- e select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
