Section B Structure, governance and management

The Charity is governed by a Constitution dated 22/7/03, as amended on 23/3/04 and 28/2/11

The Charity is constituted as a Trust.

Trustees are selected as follows. The Church Minister is a trustee. At least two other trustees are selected from among the diaconate and the diaconate may appoint church members as trustees such that the trustees drawn from the diaconate are in the majority.

Section C Objectives and activities

The governing document of the charity sets out the objects, summarised as:

The advancement of the education (including spiritual development) of children below compulsory school age

and

The provision of facilities for recreation for such children in the interest of social welfare and with the object of improving their conditions

Main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects.

The Preschool is open for thirty eight weeks per year and ten three hour sessions per week.

Most children attend Preschool for between two and five three hour sessions per week, but the Preschool has successfully created up to twelve places per day for children to use the thirty hour entitlement.

Children may commence Preschool after their second birthday such that they have the opportunity of two years of preschool education before starting at school.

The Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

Section D Achievements and performance

The Preschool is rated Outstanding by Ofsted (Oct 2018) and has had another successful year, supporting families and children in the area.

Although there was a period of closure (late March – end May) due to COVID-19 lockdown and a further period when normal working was not possible due to Government guidance (June – July), the Preschool staff used imaginative and innovative ways to support families and keep in touch with children throughout that time. From September onwards the Preschool was open to all children.

Throughout the year the Preschool employed an Early Years Professional, qualified teacher and five employees with at least Level 3 in a full and relevant qualification. The SENCO has also gained a Level 3 qualification for her role. Staff attended a variety of training events and also carried out e-learning as part of a rolling program to update their knowledge and skills. A further staff member has been enrolled on a Level 3 course.

The setting has supported children in receipt of Disability Living Allowance and successfully applied for Inclusive Practice funding to support children. Children with English as an additional language have also been supported in the setting.

The Preschool works with other professionals to support children with their needs and also worked to facilitate transition to F2 for children in its care. This year everything had to be done differently but staff found a way.

Section E Financial review

At the year-end, unrestricted cash reserves had increased to £94,523. Income was steady, but payments decreased.

Reserves Policy

The charity holds reserves of £40,000 to meet fluctuations in receipts (being approximately one term’s expenditure) plus £20,000 for any necessary investment. The Trustees are aware that equipment requires regular investment to keep the facilities up to date and suitable for the children.

COVID-19

The Trustees were able to furlough some staff and receive CJRS for the lost fees income over the first part of the year but did not claim any after August when income returned to normal levels. The trustees received a small grant from Wirral Council to help with additional costs of COVID compliant cleaning which was helpful in the purchase of appropriate products.

Section G Declaration

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.
