development and education of children and young people, in

(2) promoting their education and promoting parental involvement,
(3) promoting their health and wellbeing,
(4) providing services to support them and their families and
carers, and
(5) furthering the aims of the Pre-School Learning Alliance| |---|---| ||In all of our decisions we (the trustees) have regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
Our main activity is to deliver, within our fully inclusive setting for
2–5 year olds, the Early Year Foundation Stage. In order to do this
we employ childcare managers and practitioners who undertake
joint daily planning of activities to meet the needs and interests of
the children attending our setting.
The preschool has taken on the responsibility of the before and after
school club as from 29/08/2023 offering a homework club and
opportunities to make own dinner, breakfast.
We deploy a key person approach to ensure that the progress and well-
being of all individual children is constantly monitored and feeds into
future planning. We ensure that our staff are well trained and hence able
to successfully meet the needs of the children in our care.
We promote the importance of the learning environment and
endeavour to make this as stimulating as possible. We listen to the
views of children, parents and staff and use this feedback to inform
our improvement work. We accurately assess our children and
provide this information to LCC as requested. We develop positive
relationships with parents and carers and invite them into our
setting as observers or helpers. We value all children as individuals
and celebrate Britain’s diversity of culture and ethnicity. We help the
children in our care to be happy and healthy.
We have policies and procedures in place for all aspects of safeguarding,
child protection and health and safety, and we use staff training days and
meetings to ensure all staff are fluent in these. We follow the
recommendations offered by our LCC improvement advisor and
the guidance available from the Pre-School Learning Alliance.| **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** **TAR** September 2023 3 We are looking to arrange fundraising events and activities within the near future to raise funds in order to develop and provide modern equipment and facilities for the children.

We have worked with our LCC Improvement Partner to further improve the learning environment and our ability to meet the needs of two-year-olds attending our setting. We have updated all job descriptions and employee handbook to ensure that these are aligned with the recommendations of the PLA and meet the needs of our setting. Policies are regularly reviewed and updated where required. **TAR** September 2023 5 ## **Section E Financial review** Our reserves are steadily increasing. **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** **Details of any funds materially** No funds are materially in deficit currently **in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** The charity’s principal sources of funds are fees collected from You **may choose** to include children (mainly aged 2 years) attending the Pre-School and additional information, where income received from LCC for those children aged 3 and above relevant about: who are entitled to funded sessions. - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); Our main expenditure is wages for our childcare staff who deliver the EYFS and enable us to meet the key objectives of the charity. - 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** In August 2022 it was brought to our attention that there were no monies in the account, upon further investigations it was found that we had been a victim of significant fraudulent activity which was reported to the bank, charity commission (incident number 554547 CRM: 0458194) and police.
