The Purple Pltryhouse is an incorporated compjny, limited by g￿rantee,
incorporated July 19th 2Iy)7. The company was established under a memorandum
of association which established the object and powers of the charitable
company and is governed under its article of association. In the event of the
nursery being wound up members would be required to pay no more than £1. The
directors of the company are also charity tnJstees for the purpose of charity
law and under the Companls Articles are known as members of the Management
Committee. All parents/carers of children who (ffter￿ the nursery are able to
put themselves forword to be elected as a trustee. Qther people who have an
interest in the nursery but do not have children atterKlin9 can be co-opted onto
the committe& Under the requirements of the Memor(mdum and Articles of
Association the members of the marngement committee are elected to serve
for a period of l year. after which they mutt be re-elected ot the next Annuol
General Meeting, serving a M￿<imUM of 6 consecutive years, 4 years for co-
opted members. unless there are no alterr￿lveS.
All members of the Mamgement Committee give their time voluntarily and
receive no benefits from the charity.
FIr￿ncIal review:
The Management Committee has established a policy whereby the funds held in
reserve should be up to 6 months of the ann￿1 expenditure. The morw would
enable the nursery to remain open if numbers of children attending fell. It
would give a reasonoble time frame to undertake an (Klvertisirwj campaign.
During the last academic year the maiorify of the money coming into the
nursery came from W(Thickshire County Council in the form of the free child
funded entitlement, the nursery education grant. This provides 15 free hours of
nursery care per week for eligible pupils which is usually taken over 3 hours per
day 5 days per week. Some parents chose to take the 15 hours over 3 dw. The
nursery tries very hard to be f lexible to accommodate parent's wishes. Just
over 15 /• of the money come f rom fee payin9 parents. The nursery had three 2
year olds who were funded under the governments To Help programme. The
nursery had 34 children who qwlified for the 30 hour free entitlement.

How do activities deliver
ublic benefit:
The objectives of the nursery are to enhance the development and education of
children urKler the statutory school age by encouraging parents to understand
and provide for the needs of their children through community groups and by:_
offering appropriate play, education, care facilities and training courses,
together with the right of porents to take responsibility for. and to become
involved in the activities of such groups, ensurin9 that such groups of fer
opportunities for all children whatever their race. culture, religion, means or
ability.
Encouraging the study of the rth of such children and their families and
promoting public interests in recognition of such needs.
Instigating aThJ adhering to and furthering the aims objectives of The
Learning Alliance.
We currently have 60 children on the register. 24 of whom attended the
nursery last year. There is currently a waiting list of 18 children who wish to
join during this academic year. 98% of the children who left us l¢ist year have
enrolled at Sydenham Primary School. The transition to the reception year is
made easier for the children due to Positive relationships held between the
nursery and the school.
Speech and Language Therapists are currently working With 12 children to
identify areas of weakness and help to develgp skills which will benef it the
children as they pro9ress through the yeor and beyond. We have 3 children who
is involved with IDS. 2 members of staff went on appropriate training for
example autism training. The nursery SENDCO completed fime to Talk trainin9
which now allows her to monitor arvj screen children who she feels needs
support with speech and lan9UQge. The Wellcom screening. This is a useful tool
for accessing where children ore in their development in regards to their
speakin9 and understanding.
It has been another busy year for The Purple Playhouse, continuing to deliver a
professioTh]I but persornl service and building on its good Mme.

Even though The Purple pl￿hOuSe is a charity in the past we have been in the
fortunate position to be able to fundraise for other chorities and good causes,
for example f und raising for the local hospice.
Christmas
For the past few yeors the children have written letters to Santa. one item is
then selected from each letter and purchased by the staff. These gifts are for
nursery and to be enjoyed by all of the children. It hos been an amazing success
and enioyed by all of the children, but we understand the additional cost to the
nursery is signif icant so the decision was made for each child to be given o small
gift just before Christmas. All children attended the Christmas Fty of which
nursery provided all the food and decorations asking porents for a contribution
of 50p. Many parents did not contribute to this cost.
Learnin
ortunities
Living Eggs also joined us. they bring in eggs which are kept warm in an
incubator until they hatch. This has provided a wonderful opportunity for all the
children to understand how to care for new born chicks. As the chicks have
grown they ore then given the chance to hold them and also feed arKI water
them.
In the past we have been lucky enough to be oble to provide different
opportunities f or each child's learning and development at no additional costs to
parents, and we are lookin9 to add more schemes similar to this one in the
future. funds permitting.
Keir- The
itar man
We have been in the fortuThite Position to carry on with the guitar sessions
delivered by Keir. His sessions ore so successful and continues to be enjoyed by
all children. The nursery was not able to pay for the whole cost so in
consultation with p(rents it was agreed that parents would contribute £1.00.
Keir come f rom a nursery backgrourd and he eryges wonderfully with all
children superbty.
