Silverdale Pre-School

Summary of the main achievements during the period

We offer ten sessions per week and breakfast and lunch club too. We offer Nursery Education funding for thirty and fifteen hour’s entitlement. We also offer funding for two year olds.

Ofsted graded us 'good' in all areas and we continue to work with local schools, colleges and universities to support our local community and offer training in the Early Years. We also work with many external agencies to support children's additional needs.

We have recently employed an NVQ 3 student who has been an asset to our team and is completing on the job training.

We have been working with National Highways who are hoping to fund some work on our outdoor areas and provide volunteers too.

The charity’s policy on reserves

The charity has no specific policy with regard to the level of reserves.

Risk analysis

The Council is in financial difficulty and there is always a threat that our centre will close. Although our pre-school is currently busy, we never know the amount of children who will come through our doors.
