Whilst the charity is a not-for-profit organisation. the committee has to ensure that day-to-day operations of the pre-school continues. This is achieved by the backing of an educational grant, volunteer officials and fees charged to parents {which are structured to cover staff and the general operations of the charity). There have been no changes made to the setting in the past year.
