Section D Achievements and performance 4 March **2012** **TAR** ## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** From September 2020 Mr Chris Roblett took the role of Nursery and Pre-school Manager with Deborah Tobias his newly appointed Deputy working closely with beside him. Deborah Tobias has had several years’ experience at Tilehouse Street and has been a constant figure for staff and parents alike through the transition period. Covid has made this a turbulent time for most education settings. However, we have been proud of the successful measures that have been put in place to keep the setting open to all children. This has been made possible by the cooperation of the committee and the parents who have supported our decisions every step of the way. From September the decision was made to keep the nursery and Pre-school rooms being as separate as possible, reducing the risk of infection across the setting, we also had limited access to Parents/carers and few external people invited in (and these only, once measures were relaxed). We remained in constant communication with parents/carers/trustees through our online portal Famly as well as via email, this was also a way of continued parental engagement. Additionally, our regular satisfaction questionaries with opportunities for families to challenge or address any concerns were sent out. Suggestions were then implemented using the ‘you said, we did’ responses. By the end of July 2021 with measures slightly relaxed we were able to welcome in teachers from local schools to reinforce transitions for school readiness as well as being able to say farewell to those leaving and their parents having a graduation and leavers picnic. It was noted by several teachers that even through the pandemic the level of school readiness from this setting was exceptional. The feedback from parents has been extremely positive commenting on children’s learning and activities over this academic year being fantastic despite the circumstances. ## **Section E Financial review** March **2012** **TAR** 5 - The preschool holds sufficient reserves to cover redundancy payments - **Brief statement of the** consistent with staff T&Cs and expenditure equivalent to approximately **charity’s policy on reserves** half a term’s regular payments (including rent and other costs). **Details of any funds materially** N/A - **in deficit Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: ● the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - ● how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - **●** investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** ## **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s) PHILIP EARL Full name(s)** Phil Earl **Position (eg Secretary, Chair,** Chair **etc) Date 24 May 2022** 6 March **2012** **TAR** ## Management Report Tilehouse Street Pre-School For the period ended 31 August 2021 Prepared on 1 September 2021 For management use only ## **Table of Contents** Financial Activities............................................................................................................................................3 Balance Sheet..................................................................................................................................................5 2/5 ## **Financial Activities** September 2020 - August 2021 |**Financial Activities**
